Hi all. I am set to be sleeved on 11/25 and have been looking at lots of before and afters. I am 5"2 and 255lbs with all of my weight concentrated around my middle. It is very hard for me to picture what my body and skin may look like after I lose half my body weight. Would any of you lovely people be willing to show pics of what you looked like before surgery and how your skin has adapted to the loss: not asking for nudes, but just pics that show the excess skin, if you are willing to show it.

Lol..With the title being skin pics I assumed lipstick lady would be here ;)

On the note of skin.. well I'm 56 years old so regardless of weight loss my skin is not a public request ;)

Go to the cosmetic surgery forum and look at the thread I started called something like "two weeks progress". There are before WLS after goal and then after plastics. Still healing from plastics so dont have final results yet..

Lol! I was really trying to not sound like a Pervster McPervy Perv with this post. I just really want to see what loose skin issues people have after the weight loss. I promise!

Thanks so much for posting these pics! I've been trying to imagine what I might look like deflated, and I seem to be built about the same way. Maybe to others it may sound weird, but I will be very excited if I look like this at goal. I imagine a compression tank and decent jeans will hold it in enough to look preety good in clothes!

My stats were similar to yours, and I have lost 104 pounds. I am an apple shape all the way. The truth is - the stomach ain't pretty. I have to wear compression garments for clothes to look nice. It's a downer, but I will take this over going back to my starting weight any day of the week!

costco has some high-waist yoga pants that have a colorful waistband on one side and solid black on the other. They are a miracle. You will find mid-rise pants are your new best friend.

I'm 15 lbs from goal and my skin is similar except I also have puddles of skin at the bottom of my butt. When is your TT? I think I would need a LBL.

      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! 😞
