For the post-ops out there... How long before you started noticing loose/excess skin? (Sorry if this is already addressed elsewhere, but I couldn't find it!) I've accepted it's inevitability, just wondering when it kicks in. Of course, I'm secretly hoping I have wonder-skin and it won't happen... A girl can dream, right?

Loose skin & shrinking boob syndrome didn't happen until the very end for me (especially the boobs- probably just the last 15-20 lbs)

My stomach is holding up remarkably well after 70 pounds lost. My boobs started shrinking immediately - I wasn't big to begin with. I have some sagging skin on my inner thighs which bugs me a bit, but bermuda shorts covers it.

** but let me disclose, I already had stretch marks on my belly, so I was going to happen no matter what.

My stomach has been hanging forever, but my boobs lost the weight first and I'm doen a cup size (was small to begin with) and they're incredible saggy (sorry if TMI) I'm just hoping my somach doesn't hang too much further but I concluded a long time ago that there is a Tummy Tuck in my future.

I'm down 85 pounds, 5 pounds from goal, 15 from stretch goal. I noticed it about 1/2 way through. Stomach has held up fairly well, (I'll never qualify for a Tummy Tuck for insurance). Boobs and arms are really loose, but I've always carried a the weight a little high so I guess it's to be expected. Never could wear Victoria's Secret before, but the girls enjoy a nice VC boost today!

Also down 80 lbs just experienced bathing suit vacation and EVERYTHING is wiggly giggly if it wasn't for my excitement at losing the weight and the confidence of that I wouldn't leave the hotel. Quite eye opening as to how fat I was, but Was is the defining factor. So I enjoyed wearing 3 different bathing suit for the fist time in many years

My skin seems to go in phases--it'll look wobbly and loose and then tighten up a bit, then wobbly again. It seems to lag weight loss a bit. My poor flabby booty ain't never coming back though, ugh.

I can speak from first hand experience that my wife's boobs were one of the first things to shrink. She went down a cup size at least. I don't notice when she changes her hair, but I noticed the boob size change immediately :( I don't worry about it too much, we were both sleeved on the same date and good news for her is that I'm losing my boobs too!

      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...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
