I am new to this site and already love it. I work at an Urgent Care and was approached by a young woman who had this procedure done with amazing results. She told me her skin was very elastic and stretched back for the most part. I was wondering if any of you would like to comment on your situations with any excess skin you may have after surgery. Or any complcations for that matter!

I haven't had any real complications...a bit of a dehydration/nausea thing...but that's over, of course.

With my skin...as with a LOT of us the biggest problem is the ol' bat wings...I have been working with weights without much luck, as of yet. My stomach isn't too bad yet...but I still have a bit to go...and then we shall see

With my age, I have a lot of cottage cheese skin on my thighs...but I don't care... I am and feel like a functioning human being again...so the cottage cheese and bat wings are worth it

I call my arm skin bat wings too!You are totally right. It is a small price to pay for your health! Thank you for your input!

Well Im over fifty and so happy that I had VSG I've been losing up and down but overall losing slowly. Down 75 lbs in 9 months.

I think I need to stop saying that!! Getting ready for vacation and the dreaded bathing suit....droppy skin between the thighs looks awful and when I lay down with my knees bend as I will on a beach lounger the flab pools down resembling a big bottom vase. Everything is wiggly giggly.

But I have went from a 28/30 to a 18 so the hell with the flab I'm going on a jet ski for the first time to celebrate! I'm headed to a 100pound loss by years end. And I'll put my arm in the air and wave my bat wings like I don't care!

Girl strut your bathing suit body! I'm a size 26 and I do! You worked so hard to get there so don't let anything make you think otherwise!! Enjoy vacation and everything it has to offer!!

And I will wave my bat wings for you!!!
