Well I'm only a few weeks and 23 pounds down, but I've been using palmers firming butter 2x a day and its really seeming firmer. I'm hoping it will keep up like this for the 100 lbs I have left to lose. My surgeon informed me that I have extra elastic skin so when it comes to scarring I'm screwed, but loose skin shouldn't be much of a problem. Ill report more on the firming butter with time.

Also, palmers coco butter is the greatest! Especially for that dry skin after surgery. My skin has never felt softer on my hands and feet. Check out the palmers line. I really like their products.

Does anyone have like a lot of loose skin?! I keep telling myself that since I am only 26 and have only been this big for about 4 years I won't get any. I know everyone is different but that is honestly the one thing that is scaring me the most about this. I have like 120 lbs to loose. I plan on working out and all that but am just sooo nervous.

I was just about to post the exact same question! I am 27 so I am curious to know as well!

I'm 25, and started at 330. Yesterday I weighed 244, and I'm 4.5 months out from surgery. I was 310lbs at surgey. I definitely have loose skin, but so far it's manageable. I'm going to start wearing Shapewear under my clothes soon to help them fit a little better (not to make me smaller, but to distribute that skin a little). I think over time my skin will firm up and bounce bake a little, but I KNOW I'll have loose skin, and that's a side effect I was willing to live with. If it really interferes with my life/happiness/health maybe I'll try to get it removed once I reach a constant weight near my goal.

I've already got a piggy bank to save for my new boobs. I've always wanted them to be rounder and more perky, now I have an excuse for surgery once they turn into pancakes!

      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
