RJ I am so sorry to hear you were rejected for plastic surgery. I know you worked so hard to get off the 211 pounds and you deserve to be able to finish the journey and get the body shape you worked so hard for. It will take you some time to get over these feeling of being rejected, but it sounds like your Dr is looking out for your best interest. Please don't ever think you are a monster because from what I see you are a very beautiful woman.

I too will have a lot of excess skin when I am done with my journey and will not be able to afford to have plastic surgery. Plus being over 60 by the time I am at goal will probably disqualify me for skin removal as well. I too will have to be happy with the fact that I will be thinner and hopefully finally able to walk and do physical things I couldn't do before.

Kealot The contourmd garments look to be something that I might be able to benefit from when I lose about another 20 pounds as I don't tink they would fit me at this weight I am now. However, after losing over 200 pounds I already see terrible bat wings all the way down to my wrists. I was looking for some nude colored sleeve covers, hope these will work out. Thanks for providing us the link, I have bookmarked it.

Ausmith I like the sound of those swimsuits. Do you have a link to them? I just bought 2 from swimsuits for all. The lower body fits good but there is not enough support in the bra area. I can't go in the pool looking like I do. I have to come up with some kind of solution to keep the girls where they belong.

Swimsuit? That is not even an option for me. I keep telling myself that it is just my outer shell and it means nothing. It seems to be working at times.

I am pleased that I can do so much more now. I just finished another course and am very active. I need to be happy with that.

I have developed pain in my side and cannot wear fitted clothing anymore. So I have had to go up a size or two just to be comfortable. They tell me it is all the scar tissue that is causing the strain on my body. That is fine. It is what it is.

I had skin cancer removed from my face just recently and didn't it get infected. So I know I am now prone to it and that is that.

Thank you for your comments ssflbelle I appreciate all the kind words people have offered me on here. It is a wonderful thing to have a place to come where others are understanding the issues we all go through. Believe me I would not like to go back to where I was so I will make due. :)

RJ, I'm so sorry health issues prevented you from have the skin removal. And it sounds like the pain in your side will prevent you from wearing many compression garments. I've seen some longer boy shorts type indies that are soft and stretchy and might hold on the bits that are slipping out of the panties. I know you are disappointed and sad, but please remember to tell yourself what you would tell a dear friend in the same situation. Here's to our health and a long and happy life, filled with people who love us !

Spankx Brand makes a pretty good line of under garments. I have one that goes from just under the breast to the mid thigh. There are no rods in it. They also have undershirt types that you could wear along with it. I saw one online today that you wear your own bra, but it slims the back on down to the thighs. I instantly felt better when I put it on. They are pricy, but last a long time. Please surround yourself with good, positive people who remind you often of your positive attributes. Tell yourself who you are and nobody will be able to change your mind of it. I know I don't know you, but you are a woman who was beautifully and wonderfully made!

TY for that @@MrsPJ I am okay with who I am now. When it all happened it was painful. But I have managed to adjust.

I am in a lot of pain due to scaring because of the complications of WLS. So for me to wear tight body forming garments is not possible. It has been hard but I now like who I am even with the lumps and bumps.

It is part of the sacrifices I made to lose the weight. A choice I made good or bad.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
