Hello everyone I am still pre op but I am wondering if anyone has had skin removed that went well. I have seen lots of photos and videos regarding extra skin removal and I'm nervous about what's to come post open or should I say post goal weight. Many of the pictures I've seen were terrible jagged scars but some of the shows I've seen are pretty minor. Does anyone have bad scars? Minor scars? Almost no scars? Has anyone lost weight and there's very little extra skin or does everyone get it? Are there things i can do now to prevent extra skin? I know I'm throwing a lot out there but any support is greatly appreciated. Again I'm still pre op I'm 26 5'4 and I'm at 260 my highest weight was 278

I get my date tomorrow!

I've never been cut open I've never had a broken bone or a stitch so I'm nervous about the pain. I have large tattoos but that and natural childbirth are the only pain I've really experienced.

Welcome

Hi! I was in a similar situation. I saw a psychiatrist and did not get cleared over miscmmunicatipn with his intern. My surgeon would not give me a date so I got a new surgeon and his psychiatrist cleared me for surgery. I am now waiting to get my date. It kind of sucked BC I lost my 400 dollar program fee with my first surgeon but now I'm about to get a date so I don't think about money lost. I say if you don't get cleared get a new psych evaluation and don't be so honest and open about your feelings. If you feel you are strong enough to do this show them that and don't focus on how bad the weight is making you feel. Talk to someone on the side about that. They mainly want to see you are mentally stable enough for surgery. Put a smile on and I hate to say this and it's probably bad advise but lie lie lie your way if you have to. I hope this helps a little even if it just makes you smile
