Surgery after one month

Hi all,

I am scheduled to have the sleeve surgery after one month from today. I was wondering if you guys can help me with some of the questions I have as I am really concerned about a few points. Particularly loose skin and pain duration after surgery.

I am currently playing between 102 and 105 KG, my goal weight is between 55 and 60 KG.

Any advice?

Thanks

I just need to know what to expect regarding loose skin with a 40-45 KG to lose. Is it really something that no one can avoid? Or does it require a specific amount and type of workout? Does everybody get it or does it depend on age and other factors?

I am so worried I'll be happy with the weight loss but miserable about how my skin looks like.

I am 44 and I am 6 months post on Wednesday, I am surprised that I don't have a lot of loose skin! I have lost 86 lbs so far, I was at 300 DOS- I have gone down in size from a 22-24 to a 16 and I feel great. It may have to do with the way I carried my weight - "all over" instead of having large legs and hips or bust. At 44 I am not so worried about saggy skin, but I did think about it some! My bikini days are gone! LOL I have been going to the gym and I do have a trainer helping me. For me - that is a must.
