Hey!

So I am being banded March 12... and am so excited! However my biggest concern and it may sound so petty is having a lot of loose skin!

What have you gone through with your skin thru the whole process? Some have told me they have a little but what exactly classifies a little? Also... is there anything you can do to help prevent it?

I have lost 200 lbs and I did it very slowly. I work out drink tons of Water and my genetics have left with me with tons of excess skin.

I had a tummy tuck in October. I am planning to get a breast and arm lift, also I need a inner thigh lift. I am one of the unfortunate cases.

It is hard for me to deal with what I look like under my clothes, but at a size healthy I love my life so much more. I had planned for the need for a breast lift and tummy tuck, but not everything else. The hardest thing however, is intimacy. It is a whole different type of insecurity now.

FG, congratulations on your huge weight loss. Good luck with all the PS, keep posting your experiences, OK?

I've yoyo'ed so much I already had a jelly roll, and now that I'm 35 lbs out, it's really saggy and I can't wait to get it cut off. My bat wings have always been bad as well, and actually bug me more than my stomach or thighs.

My jelly roll hangs and gives me a heat/yeast rash constantly, and I've been told there is nothing that can be done until after I have kids since it'd be a waste of money. *lol* So I'm having to wait until then, as much as I hate it.

I'm going to need an arm lift and an inner thigh thift for sure. the rest I could go without doing. but the loose skin drives me NUTS!!!! My friends want to go swimming and I'm so nervous to go because my legs look horrible! the loose skin looks like celulite x100. hahahaha but I did already buy a swimsuit and plan on showing off my new body with or without the extra skin!
