My surgery date is a week from tomorrow, June 20th. I have spent this weekend getting everything ready. As I do this, I keep having thoughts of excess skin, attempting to date with excess skin, how I can't afford to remove excess skin, are my relationships going to struggle, and the list goes on. I know these are irrational thoughts and don't have anything to do with the reasons I am having the surgery, but they're driving me crazy haha.

it's normal, but I'll tell you what - skin can surprise you and healthy is sexy. When the time is right, you'll meet the right person, and they will not care about your imperfections - they will see the things about you that are attractive.

this WLS is a wild ride!

One of the good things to note about excess skin is that it does not cause diabetes, heart attacks, high blood pressure, or strokes!
