So I was talking to someone today about the Gastric Bypass surgery and she had it about 8 years ago. She just kept telling me well you know your going to have loose skin. A lot of it. I'm just telling you because a lot of pool don't think they will. But you will have a lot of loose skin. Ok lady thank you I heard you the 14 th time. I know I will have loose skin but I would rather have loose skin then not be able to fit in a seat comfortable , or go to movies with out having to have a seat in between my spouse and I so I have room. I can't wait to get on a plane or hell even plan a trip and not care about getting on the plane because of how tiny the seats are. Trust me I love how beautiful I am . I know I'm a really pretty woman but this weight has to go. Loose skin or not.

My lose skin is being helped by working out. It is still a part of me but I still love my sleeved body. 2 years out and no regrets! You are beautiful no matter what.

Besides, there is botox for your face, and plastic surgery if it's THAT bad. I got sleeved 6 months ago and I look fabulous in clothes... the folks that see me without them love me anyway so who cares....

Sn... I am about that botox life though. Lol

This is my before and after pictures I went from 285 to 140 all in 8 months. I am coming up on the 6th yr anniversary of my RNY gastric bypass surgery next month!! It's still hard to believe it sometimes.. I still go for at least a size 10 when I go shopping..which are always too big..I know I'm in between a size 6-4 but I still can't believe it. I catch a glimpse of myself walking by a mirror and have to do a double take! Lol Crazy right after being 6 yrs out. I have had many compliments the worst being 7 months out of surgery and having severe..like I don't think I'm gonna live kind of abdominal pain...the er doctor in my home town...my bariatirc surgeon was over 3 hrs away from me so when this pain started I didn't have time to make it to him b/c they ended up finding I had gallstones, pencreatitis, and then my bowel ended up tearing when I got admitted to have the gallbladder removed..I had to stay a few nights in hospital before and thank god I did! Hey sent me for a catscan and with in an hr I was on the operating table with the thought that I might end up with a colostomy!! I'm a health care professionally so I knew what that was!!! and they also need to open me right up cuz they didn't know for sure where this tear was! So now I have a scar all the way from between my breasts down to my belly button and I was completely septic...basically I almost died!!! Crazy!! Unfortunately as awful as that whole situation was...I had to have 4 more surgeries for various other complications. Right this moment my pouch is swollen and won't let anything but fiuids down...I lost 35 lbs in under a month back in April. ..I was admitted to hospital again for malnutrition and dehydration. I was in there for 3 weeks while they built me back up and then when I was stable I got to come home but I need to have a picc line in and I hook myself up to the iv nutrients for 12 hrs a day but I'm on the mend now...I have put 25 of the 35 lbs I had lost so I'm back to 140lbs and feel not to bad. .I have been going back to my surgeon to get dilations done with the little balloon on the scope so at least it didn't mean surgery. I just had my second dilation but I still can't eat solid food! I haven't really eaten anything solid for 4 months now!!! Omg my mind is so hungry...I feel like I would almost give my left arm to have big Mac right now! Lol. I try and stay positive and I guess I'm just really unlucky to say the least lol. I have some loose skin but it's mostly on my uper arms and inner thighs..my tummy has a bit of of skin but not too bad but what was I expecting when I lost 140lbs in only 7-8 months!! I try and work out but I know this skin will never go away so I just say screw it..if you don't want to see it don't look!! Lol Good lucky to everyone who are going into surgery soon and remember to follow your guide lines for post op care to a tee or you might end up as unlucky as I have been!!
