Wow! You are amazing!!! Do you have alot of excess skin? My surgeons asks us in our post op checkups how are skin is and if we are getting sores or other issues from it. He says that insurance will cover the procedure if there is some kind of issue.

It's not so bad really. I mean it's not tight like a 20 year old either, but I'm not 20... On the serious side though, it's something I can live with and keep covered up until I get around to getting it fixed. I can hide excess skin but I can't hide fat!!! I don't have any issues like that where I get sores in folds or anything like that. I don't really have folds... just in places it looks like that deflated balloon look. I imagine some of it will go away on it's own too.

That's good. I have heard that it can take a year after weight loss for skin to fully shrink up.

Wow...truly amazing! What an accomplishment! I was getting ready to donate my size 24 black pants but now I think I'll save them so that one day I can take a similar picture. You are such an inspiration!!

Wow girl- those are amazing pics!! Your posts are always so real and inspiring. I think I'm going to pull out a piar of old jeans from the Goodwill pile and save them for a "down in the dumps day"- what a fabulous idea! As much as it feels good to get rid of those clothes- it probably will feel even better to do what you did!

Thanks for always posting such great stories, advice, and ideas! You are AMAZING!! Hope you are feeling better now!
