Anyone brave enough to share skin pics



Recommended Posts

I'm 9 months out, lost about 120 pounds so far and have about 20 more to go. At my follow up yesterday we discussed removing the excess skin I have hanging. My doctor recommends waiting another 6 months, which I'm good with, but was curious what to expect. I've had 6 kids, so there is literally no hope for tightening things up. Anyone care to share before/after photos of your panni surgeries? My thighs are bad too, but I'm starting with the tummy first.

The realself.com website is a great resource to see people's before/after plastic surgery photos. You can even post your own photos and have plastic surgeons comment on what they would recommend!

Enjoy! It's a great resource to read reviews on plastic surgeons too. You will have to create an account to be able to access the pictures.

I'm guessing that your doctor wants your body to settle in. You will probably lose more yet so it might be too premature to do the surgery yet. Just a guess, though. Congrats on the weight loss so far!! That's awesome!

      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! 😞
