I am so excited to be less then 2 weeks away from my surgery". I have lost 65lbs. I'm not at my goal yet but even though I eat great and exercise 5 days a week I cannot lose anymore. My plastic surgeon feels it will help to get all the excess skin off. I only have to lose 30 more this will put me close to my goal! I will post before and after pics

Wow how exciting!

Depending on how much skin you need removed the scale can definitely go down after the surgery. But, the other thing is skin doesn't weigh nearly as much as most people think it would.

For an example: I had a Tummy Tuck with skin removal 2 months ago. After losing over 200 pounds, I had over 12 pounds of skin removed. I had A LOT skin, too. It just isn't that heavy as far as weight.

Best wishes!!

Wow, that IS exciting! I am on the fence for myself. Some days I think I should just go for it, but then my body keeps changing and improving, so I think I should wait it out a bit longer. The cosmetic surgery scares me more than the band surgery did.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
