Does anyone have before and after belly shots? I don't know why I am so concerned with how my belly will look after surgery. I know I have more important things to worry about....RIGHT lol

OK, unless you're related to that stretchy rubber guy on "FantasticFour" the after shots are not going to be pretty.

But that is fixable. But you will be healthy.....an obviously much more important priority, right? ;)

@@trulyamazingtoo some vloggers on youtube strip down and show the loose skin. It's not pretty, but neither is being morbidly obese, at least the skin is easily hidden behind clothes. =)

@@trulyamazingtoo I have this same concern too haha! I've had four kids, two were over 8 pounds, one was 10.7 and the other was 11.3! My stomach is huge, I still look 9 months pregnant and my baby is 6 months old! I carry most my weight there...I'm wondering if it will even go down after surgery!

My Surgeon used adhesive to close the external skin on my belly. I have 5 tiny scars that look like faded lines. Honestly, I've had 5 children, 2 c-sections, cancer and lost over 200 lbs. I'm carrying some battle scars. I have earned them. I'm still beautiful. So are you. If your belly has some scars you will still be beautiful. :-)

Peace

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

      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! 😞
