Hi.

I am having my surgery in June, and I was just wondering if there is anyone out there that is around 44 yrs old that had the surgery. How did you do? Extra skin? Complications? Hair loss etc?

Thank you.

I am older at 48 I am 10 months out and nearly at goal. My under chin was bad around 6 months but has gotten much better now. My abdomen is very crepey, but doesn't really hang, my stomach above belly button is fine. My inner thighs a little crepey too. So I plan to wear bike short like swim shorts and bikini top. My bat wings also were bad around 6 months, but closer to goal the skin is more shriveled and wrinkly than hanging. Really unnoticeable and with weight lifting it is looking better. Good luck. One caveat I feel great and even with more face wrinkles I get a lot more attention from men and women it's crazy!

Sounds like you are happy with the results. Did you have alot to lose to begin with? I probably need to lose at least 120lbs. My main "goal" is to be pain free! I will deal with the cosmetic issues as they come, but if I am not always tired and in pain I think I could get through anything!!

Congratulations on your achievements so far!!!

I had 98 to lose. So not that different. I am very strict low carb, so my inflammation is way down and my pain now non existent! You are going to be so happy, just remember it is a journey.
