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 :):lol: :D :P ;)

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!

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
