I'm 23 and at 2 Weeks out I've lost 17lbs (pre-op 247). I don't know if it has to do with my age but I feel awesome! No pain since day 2, but I think my weight loss is too early to notice any loose skin. I'm trying to work out now while its still early and hopefully it won't be an issue... I'm hopeful but I think loose skin is inevitable. But id rather have some flabby skin than a big ol gut ;)

I'm 24...I weigh 247 and I'm 5' in height. My surgery is this coming Wednesday and I have been thinking about the "skin" issue once I start losing the weight. I hope I won't have a huge problem with that.

I'm 26, and have lost 34 so far, but I had about 45-50 lbs to lose,so I'd say I'm doing well. My skin feels saggy, but I think that's from YEARS of yoyo dieting. Also, I am not diligent with Water and excercise.

I'm 31 I've lost 96 lbs from 230 to 134 my skin popped right back n place the only problem area is my inner thighs and its only visible up close smf mo clothes on. My arms look good, and my stomache is as flat as a pancake. Only if I could lose these damn stretch marks looks like a road map.

I'm 22 and weigh 315. I go for a consultation tomorrow and am hoping to schedule a surgery in June or July. For being big, I've got pretty tight skin, so I'm hoping that everything will shrink post-op and that I won't have the flab everywhere. But I'd much rather deal with flab in a size 6 and not a 24.

So I'm 21 and 240 pounds. And I should have my surgery at the end of this month. I wanted to have it early but between school an my bf I had to make it late in the month and not during spring break. But im nervous and excited I havent been small since my sophomore year in highschool..so six years. But I'm excited and everyone's pretty supportive. My moms had lap band before and it cured her diabetes and high blood pressure and such and so they want to nip the problems I may get get in the butt before they come. Anyways I'm always looking for people to chat with for support and making new friends and talk about the experience all together so please feel free to message me and stuff!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
