Hi I have lost 110 lbs from my highest weight. Almost 9 months post op. I am 33 yrs old. I have been seeing my skin getting worse every month. Worried that surgery won't even help. I have saggy skin with wrinkles and stretch marks now. Wonder if anyone can tell me about their experience with plastic surgery.

Why wouldn't plastic surgery help?

Go to the plastics forum on this very site to see lots of great before and after photos. also, go to realself dot com and search for photos of "afters" - find surgeons with experience in reconstructive plastics after massive weight loss.

Mostly, don't let it get you down so much. focus on the joy of being healthy and fit... plastics are just icing on the cake!

I lost 150-160# post sleeve (more like 185 from lifetime high) and I had reconstructive plastics in Oct 2013. It was great and really improved my nekkid appearance!

I was skeptical of Tummy Tuck with as much skin and folds I had. Recovery was VERY difficult. But I would do it all over again. My tummy is flat. And looks perfectly normal. Scars are hardly noticeable.

      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! 😞
