What surgery did you have? Lapband

Male or female? Female

How much weight did you lose? 84 so far with a lot more to go!

How fast did you lose your weight? Sometimes it drips off me, others it feels like it's going to hang on forever! Was banded late July 2013.

If you are female and didn't have cosmetic surgery, are you comfortable enough to go to the beach in a bikini? PFFFFT. lol

How much loose skin do you have? My arms are going to be really bad, I can already tell. I'm not shocked though, I've always had huge arms anyway. If I ever get up the nerve and money in the future to have plastics, my arms will def be the first to go. I'm just now starting to see signs on my stomach of how much skin there's going to be, I think it will be relatively substantial but possibly not so much that I will feel like I absolutely have to have a Tummy Tuck to go on. I'm worried to see how my thighs and legs will end up. I've always had tree trunks for legs. I can't even visually imagine what they will look like if the fat is ever gone off of them.

How fast did you lose your weight? Lost 100lbs in the first seven months.

If you are female and didn't have cosmeticr surgery, are you comfortable enough to go to the beach in a bikini? NEVER! Bikini days were over after carrying twins full term followed a few years later by a 10 1/2 pound baby boy! Lol

How much loose skin do you have? I have saggy belly, saggy arms, saggy butt, saggy thighs, and totally deflated saggy, baggy boobs (went from a 46D to a 36B). My insurance might pay for my belly. I'd like to fix my breasts but it's not critical to my happiness.

The first four questions you asked are answered by looking at my profile.

how fast have you lost your weight? I have averaged 4.5 pounds a week.

I would not be comfortable being seen without a t-shirt on.

I do not have a lot of loose skin. I do have those flabby bat wings.

I'm a 42 yr old lapband patient. I have lost a total of 90 lbs and almost 40 inches all over in two and a half to three yrs post op. I do have some loose skin but will not have reconstructive surgery to get rid of it and no, I will not be in a bikini but I do wear a two piece. Can't show my scars and port.

Very fast the first 3 months, and finally hit goal weight around 20 months post op. Have since gained about 15 pounds back.

If you are female and didn't have cosmeticr surgery, are you comfortable enough to go to the beach in a bikini?

I don't qualify to answer this question, but I would say that I've had no cosmetic surgery "yes" anyway to the bikini. :P Seriously, I don't mind wearing just my swim trunks on the beach and have many times the past few summers.

How much loose skin do you have?

None

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
