I don't know what I'm going to do about boobs deflated and tummy! I'm 66 and will be 67 before the surgeon recommends going ahead with plastic surgery. Do I really care at that point?? Will see what I look like then and decide.

I am 62 and I definately care. I too wanted the loss for health reasons. But, I am loving the way I look with clothes on and want to look good with them off. I haven't had sex in about 12 years and really want to feel I can take my clothes off. I won't wear shorts or skirts. Not so much from the skin but because of the V. Veins. My boobs are good, they were a DD now they are a D but he stomach and my arms. OMG the arms are unreal, I can't wear anything sleeveless without being so self conscious.

I met a woman at my WL support group who did her stomach, and her back above her bra and did her arms from there. So no huge scar. He also added to her butt. He is from Mexico so I can give you the info if anyone wants it. He did her friend also and apparently you can have a consultation over Skype. She said she got 3 quotes her in SF and Mexico was about 70% less.

I may get approved for the stomach because I have other issues because of it. I have Meralgia Paresthetica. Then I can go to Mexico for the arms and (?).

How about neck? Mine looks like a chicken. awful.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
