I'm scheduled for Sept 25, but this is a bit concern for me. My fiancé says I can get surgery but idk that we can afford it.... I am just praying some skin still has elasticity.

I've lost 115lbs from my highest weight. How are you guys dealing with excess skin? Are you guys already considering plastic surgery? And how soon can someone get a Tummy Tuck after gastric sleeve?


Are you at goal? I wouldn't do Any plastic till my work is done. But I know some do earlier. I wouldn't like to do.one
Lose more weight and have more skin.

You've done amazing. I have 80lbs to go and it seems I'll never get there so Amazin to see how fast you've lost that. Can I ask what your eating plan is like ?

I had my surgery in December 2016 and I've lost 132.6 pounds so far and I'm 8 months almost 9 months out and I'm definitely 100% already looking into plastics lol. I had very large breasts went from 52j to a 40DDD and the lose skin on my chest is already a huge problem. At the moment my stomach isn't too bad but there is a lot of visible skin there and on my arms. I won't actually get my plastics done until my weight plateaus and my surgeon gives the ok (I'm guessing 18-24 months post op?) but I'm someone who likes to plan and get an idea of costs so when I am physically ready I'll be fiscally ready as well.

I'm currently 63.2 pounds away from my "weight goal" and 78.2 pounds away from my surgeons goal.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
