Hi, I am 25 and hoping to be approved for a bariactric surgery. I am 235-240 lbs and 5'4" so I am right at 40BMI. At this point I have scheduled my first appointment (Feb 5th) and I am hopeful for acceptance from my insurance company. I am curious at how you would honestly classify your body one year post surgery. I do intend to make serious changes to my lifestyle, including eating healthier and working out. I am hopeful that at my age, and considering that I only just meet the criteria for surgery, that I will not experience a lot of sagging after the surgery. Does anyone have any experience with it? Does working out help the process? Does anyone have a story where they were a similar weight and could provide some insight?

Any and all comments and opinions are welcomed!

All I can say is that 58 and having lost the same 25 pounds more than once, and having had one child (22 years ago) my body is so saggy now, that even at my weight of 250 or so, I'm going to be a saggy bag a bones. I lay in bed at night and move all this flab around and think it's just fat flab, and then it's going to be empty skin.....what a sorry sight that will be

@@My Bariatric Life I used Dr. Ankit Desai in Jacksonville, FL for all of my plastics. I was very happy with both him as a surgeon and his entire office staff. I fully intend to have them do every procedure for me in the future, which if all goes according to plan means I will be getting my face lift in about 20 years from the same person who gave me my boob lift, lol.
