you'll most likely have loose skin. But I think I can speak for the majority of us when I say that looking back, we probably shouldn't have wasted a lot of brain cells worrying about the loose skin. Most of us would take the loose skin ANY DAY over being 100 - or 200 - or whatever pounds overweight. The loose skin is a pretty minor issue when you look at the big picture. Plus for most of us, it's pretty easy to hide in clothes. And if it REALLY bothers you, plastic surgery will take care of it. So I know it's hard to believe now, but the loose skin should NOT be your biggest fear. Being 100+ lbs overweight should be.

here I am, after my initial loss of 235 lbs (I've since gained 12 lbs), with tons of loose skin. See it? Doesn't it look awful?

You look amazing!!! How long did it take for you to notice the weight loss? I love your sandals btw, I got a pair similar to those a couple days ago

Hey everyone,

My surgery is coming up in September! I just had my egd done on tuesday and they said everything looked good. I'm wondering how much weight you all lost after surgery and at what rate? Also one of my biggest fears is loose skin after the weight loss. Has anyone else struggled with this? I'm 5'7 and about 293 lbs.

Hello Everyone,

I just started the process to have gastric sleeve surgery. Although I'm getting great info from the nutritionist, I'd love to hear your experiences and what you wish you knew before you had surgery. I'm nervous but excited! My surgery is still about 5 or 6 months away so I'm hoping to prepare myself as best I can before then. What are the biggest changes you've made and how did that impact your life? All advice and stories are welcomed!!
