    Omg, you have to feel amazing!

    I am 2.5 months postop and I have lost 53 pounds since my surgery day. I started out at 310. I am starting to get worried about saggy skin since I am loosing so fast.

    Do you have much saggy skin?

    Should I start exercising to reduce it? What exercises and other treatments do you use?

    Saggy skin....Depends on your age and yes how much weight you had to lose...I have a big spare tire that drives me nuts..I use shaper tees to keep a lot of that in...The lose skin will be something that a good plastics will deal with in time...

    Keep up with your water and biotin...It all helps..same with your vitamins...You will have lose skin or not...

    I would rather have loose skin that I can hide with clothes then be 380 again and be the center of bad attention....Right now...No one knows who I am......It is wonderful to not be the center of attention anymore!!!!
