24 Pants to 12-14 pants

3X shirt to a Large shirt

45.5 BMI to a 29.4 BMI

Hi there,

I am very new on this forum and only in stages of considering this surgery. I am a 49 yo female with about 100 lbs to lose. I think you have done great and I am very happy for you. Now, I am curious as to whether you have loose skin from losing so fast? If so or if not, do you exercise regularly? I currently do, and have for a long time. I am obviously very overweight but toned for my size. It scares me a lot to think I might have loose skin that could require more surgery down the road. Thanks for your response!

Congrats- you have really worked your sleeve!!!

@MyJourneyBegins: CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! 100 Lbs lost is a MAJOR DEAL!!! Enjoy it by celebrating with something nice for yourself!!

@splashdancer: IMO, I'd rather have loose skin than carry around the weight of a whole extra person. You can always cover the loose skin if it bothers you enough, however - you cannot cover up all the extra pounds. Nope, you have to wear that and its out there for everyone to see. I have some loose skin, and I'm sure it will even get worse the smaller I get, but by golly I'm here and I'm happier than I've ever been!!!

congrats to you that is awsome!!! I am so close to 100 pounds gone I cant wait to get there but the darn scale just wont budge that way.

Thank you. I am sure it would be worth it, too. I am happy you are happy and doing so well.
