I am schedule to have surgery Nov 18th, would love to see pictures of anyone who was starting weight in the lower 200's and your current weight now. Goal for me is 150 and wondering if anyone else has lost that much about 60-70lbs? How is your skin?

Surgery day I was 222. Today Im 145 and my skin is ok. My arms sag a little bit (I just dont wear sleeveless things too often), my butt sags a little bit but yoga helps that, my 'girls' sag a little bit because I lost a lot of mass (went from a 44D to a 38C) but fitting into size 8 skinny jeans and a medium top, being healthy, being able to zip knee high boots, being healthy, etc is worth every single sagging skin cell!!!

BTW: My before and after is on my profile

It started at 235 currently the weight is 152.

I'm 11 months out my thighs are a fright!

And yes I have flappy arms I'm also 47 so it might be better if you are you younger.

Oops I just saw 220! Disregard my post.....

Laura-ven you are so beautiful!

Laura-ven you are so beautiful!

That old disguise must of worked so very well for you miss Lauren, when that was, but I like your little smiley photo at bottom better

You are one of my inspirations!!! I started higher than you and still have a long way to go but you look AMAZING!

You look amazing.

thanks, I never in a million years would of thought that I would be an inspiration to anyone...

It is truly moving (and I had to explain the tears in my eyes to my husband that just walked in)

You will do it too and in a short time. I bet someone will be saying the same thing to you!

On a side note? I just walked my son to school, a simple thing I know.. But a year ago it would of been painful (physically and emotionally)

Today it was a normal thing to do as a normal person. It's these moments that make it worth it

I just wonder how I will look once the weight starts coming off. I carry my weight in my stomach area currently wear size 12 to 14.

I'm 59 and my arms and girls sag already! I figure when I lose 90 lbs I'll be able to wrap up in my loose skin and keep warm next winter!

Yep, I feel if loose skin is my worst issue in life then I'm pretty fortunate.

I am a band to sleeve revision I started out with my band at 218, when I got the sleeve I was 185. I am 4 months 3 weeks post op and I am 148 as of today. I'm 30 years old and my sick is...... Ok I guess. Sagging. Yes! Hoping that it catches up someday. Attached is my 4 month before and after which I was about 5 pounds heavier.
