I saw a thread just like this a couple weeks ago and, yes there have been several here that have lost 100#+ that have have no notable skin issues.

I think it depends on your age and history. I have a friend that did the Lap Band, she was 26 at the time and lost about 110 lbs...no issues at all. I have another friend that also did the Lap, we was 45 at the time, with 3 kids and lost about 95 lbs...she had issues. Nothing she couldn't deal with, but she would never put on a bathing suit because of her legs and arms. I think there are ways to have the insurance cover some of the cosmetic surgery, talk to your sleeve surgeon.

I have lost 77 lbs and have some skin dilemma's, nothing I can't deal with though. :) My doc and others told me I look so much more younger now. ;)

      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! 😞
