Hi, my name is Cecilia I'm 18yrs old 5'1 and 230lbs I will be having surgery in march or April only if my insurance approves! I'm really really excited, BUT.. a lil concerned about the excess skin? Also how long does it take to heal up after surgery is there any pain from the 5 incisions?. Did anyone here have extreme pain after surgery? Pls update me!!

I think if you work out the excess skin shouldn't be too bad. You're young... and unless you've lost and gained a lot of weight repeatedly your skin should be okay!

I am 23... I do have some excess skin on my arms.. but it's not too bad.

In my mind I'm losing quicker than I can tone. So I'm going to work on it for awhile to see how it responds !

Good luck getting approval!

For me the first two days were THE worst. Then each day I got better. I didn't have any incision pain. I thought I had 4 incisions until one day my belly button itched and I discovered one more in there LOL!

I had about two weeks to recover.... and, like I said after the first two days I was moving around more.... going out, etc!
