Any one around 26 years old? ?

I'm having surgery in March, and I can't seem to find any one that is around my age. Everyone at my support group is 40+ so I'd like to talk with someone who will have closer results to what I will have.

How is the loose skin post-op? I am 310 pounds, 5'7" and looking very forward to surgery!

      I'm so glad to hear from you all! It was a little scary not having anyone my age to talk to about this, because honestly, I don't think it's the same experience as someone a little older. I don't h

    I'm 26 and having Surgery in 11 days. My insurance will cover a tummy tuck and boob lift so the only concern I have was my arms. They aren't fugly right now but as soon as I start to lose weight I want to make sure I'm building muscle in the arms to offset the flab!

    Good Luck!

    We are also close to the same weight so if you ever want to chat let me know!

    What insurance do you have that covers a boob lift and tummy tuck? That's great :)
