I weigh 200 and this is gonna be my first and hope last weight loss surgery. Going to Dr Almanza in Tijuana in few weeks. Waiting on passport. Little nervous about loose skin ??? Anyone. I don't have any kinda marks or scars on me and hate the idea of having these big incisions scars on my stomach :(

Hi Melody,

i'm from Ok and was just down at Mexicalli last week. I don't think you have to worry much about scarring unless you get an infected one or you keloid or something (which I do in some areas), I can already tell 4 places will be almost impossible to find and the only one that may be noticed is where the drain was. Your dr may not even use a drain, so there ya go... Good luck to you...

Fort Smith AR here also went to TJ. At 3 months scars are still dark but well worth the 35 pound weight loss

Oh my gosh. I panicked and had to look up what "keloid" meant. Freaked for a minute then realized I have had cuts and gashed my foot open once and it healed back normal. Woo feel a lot better now. LoL

Yes I am starting to realize the weight off is much more important than some scars :)

I was really excited the closer it gets the more nervous I get. Thinking about the outcome when it's all said and done keeps me motivated.

I agree. My surgery is Dec. 5 and my biggest worry I think is being sick. I just try to concentrate on the end results.

I had originally planned Dec 4th but I'm still awaiting my passport. So I have decided to wait till after Christmas. I've afraid I'll be sore and sick in Christmas. I don't wanna spoil my sons Christmas by not feeling good.

My worst time was one week after surgery, dizzy and exhausted. I worked thurs and fri, then sat and sun I rested before going back to work on Monday. Other than those two days everything was good. It was way easier than I thought it would be.

      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?
