So today I was asked about excess skin. So I wanted to share my skin. Warning there are photos of me in my bra.

So a little about me.

I had gastric bypass on Halloween 2013.

Hw: 333 pounds

Surgery weight: 283 pounds

Current weight: 180 pounds

Estimated excess skin weight from doctor: 20 pounds

Height 5 foot 6 inches

Size 10 stretchy, size 12 regular fit, size 14 tight fit.

Size M shirts

Size WHEN I started 4xl

I will try to attach some before, after and skin photos.

Goal weight 140-150 pounds.

Goal life: healthy, and live life to the fullest

I wanted to share these because I look not so bad with clothing. I don't like having the excess skin, but it doesn't define me.

Remember it can take up to two years for skin to shrink.

I am not ashamed of my excess skin. Do I wish it was gone, yes I do, but life unhealthy was much worse

I hope this does not deter you to lose weight and have this surgery, because this life is so much better and it is worth it!

Let me know if you have any questions

I will likely do this again when I hit goal weight. As you can see in the below pictures, I still have a lot of adipose tissue in the skin, so I am sure it will get better

Cheers!

It doesn't deter me either.. I think you look GREAT! If you lose another 40 pounds, and get to your goal weight, it will probably shrink even more. I can't even imagine you losing another 40 pounds, cause you seem tiny!
