Thanks losingit629!!!! I just had my EGD last friday having my psy evaluation thursday and ill be done im excited abd scared only cause i don't no what i will look like im so comfortable in my own skin lol

We were in the same boat, I'm also 30 years old, I weighted 303 but lost 43 prior to the surgery! I've always been comfortable on my skin, and honestly I was consider with my self esteem after the surgery because honestly I've always been a confident girl regardless of my weight! But honestly girl even 4 days post op I'm so excited! You'll be great and you know what I think about extra skin but you need to make sure your getting all your calcium because that helps with the extra skin and a good workout!

I lost 43 during the whole process not within 14 days post opt! I starting working on my weight the day I left the consultation and from Sept 11 til Jan 31, 2013 I lost 43 lbs! To be honest I don't do pics because I have shared my decision to have the surgery with anyone but 1 close friend and my mother and sister! But I will email you my pics of the my weight loss prior to surgery and of course ill keep you updated with the weight loss pic after surgery but I don't believe I lost to much because its only been 4 days!
