Ok so I have a friend who went an she showed me what she looks like now. I'm just wondering if anyone has any before and after photos without having any cosmetic surgeries? Is there anyone who didn't feel the need for skin removal or is that a must with VSG?

I don't know how to put the direct link on here, but if you can type in pics skin scars in the search box under forums, then look for the title "pics,scar, skin, and stretch marks oh my". The post is by sassafras, she has plenty of pics. Hope this helps

it is NOT a must that you have plastics after you lose your weight

you won't get arrested if you don't have cosmetic surgery :lol:

i lost 105 lbs - reaching my goal :)

i do have plenty of extra skin :angry:

i "lost" my rear end :o so the skin is just kindof hangin' around :lol:

same is true with my inner thighs and below my arms

i had a Tummy Tuck about 15 years ago

i "think" thats why my tummy didn't get big, rolls

i also didn't/couldn't deal with the price

"looks" like your still pre-op???

don't know for sure cuz you don't have a ticker or profile :angry: (hint, hint ;))

good luck bud

Jared the subway guy lost more than a VSG patient and faster and has no excess skin issues. A lot of it has to do with age.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
