I'm worried what I will look like. Mostly I am worried my skin will be saggy and I'll look old!!

Yep! I am worried about it. I'm 57 and I'm real concerned about it,but I have made this commitment and I'm going to see it through. If I have to have skin removal surgery later on I will. Btw, i'm 5'5" and weigh 270, so I'm going to have some skin issues for sure.

That's what I'm worrying about.

Loose skin is nothing compared to how healthy you will be once the weight is off! Try not to think about the negative think about the positive!

It's hard enough having 3 c-sections which leaves me with 3 scars. A blood transfusion. My tubes tight. I have a hangy belly as it is but it doesn't cover ** area . Arms not so bad was worst but started working out. I know being healthy & having this surgery is excellent but when you are selfconcious (sp) and don't wanna even have sex imagine losing so much weight at once & not being able to exercise hard core & your body starts to sag. I will go into a deep depression that god knows when I will come back to the site for up dates or photos. I'm gonna feel nasty. Sorry but I'm the mist honest person ever. I have to say the truth. That's why I'm saving $ which I dont have but I refuse to be sad & depress over saggy skin. If I have to exercise 5 hours a day to avoid this or to have less I will do it.

Thank you John!
