I am 35. I've lost 130 lbs; I'm 5'6. I have enough loose skin on my upper thighs that I wear a skirted swim suit. I have lose skin and still a lot of fat on my stomach and my upper arms are developing that 'bat wing' deformity crap. My face is looking pretty good, though. I have 70 pounds left to lose.

I am one year post op. 43 years old. My starting weight was 271 and current weight is 152. My face and neck are doing fine. I have loose skin on my upper thighs, my stomach is saggy, my arms are a little saggy but not too bad.

I worked out and toned throughout this process. I have really ripped legs and arms under my loose skin.

I might get my stomach and thighs done later down the road, but for now I am too happy enjoying life to want to deal with the downtime/recovery. Maybe next year?

I think a lot of it depends on age and genetics. The bottom line is I would rather have jiggly skin and feel great!! Good luck to you!!

I am 31. I started at 237 and I am now 126. Prior to my first plastics procedure, I had very loose skin on my upper arms, thighs, and all around my lower stomach, back, and thighs. I pretty much looked like a deflated Michellin marshmallow. Even after plastics, there is a little skin remaining around the top of my bra line by my armpit area and my thighs are unlikely to ever be very attractive, despite having a thigh lift.

So did you end up having a thigh lift or you have t had it yet!! ?

      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! 😞
