Wow, aren't I jealous! I live in Vegas now, but I was in Tacoma til I was 18 then after a couple years (Navy) I came back to Port Orchard for 7 years! Good luck everyone!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yeah, @@Candygyrl, you put a lot of my thoughts into words. Shouldn't I try now? Not wait for the loose skin to appear? Thank you for all of your feedback. I have a BMI of 38, so that might be considered "lower" so maybe I'll have LESS loose skin, but of course I fear the worst and it will take work on my part to have the best results possible. I have always carried my weight around my middle, but like you, my arms started to get bigger when the fat needed to find new places... I'm going to get working on myself now and make whatever improvements I can. Thanks again girl! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you sooo much. I needed to hear that right now. I know - at least I'm DETERMINED - to do everything it takes to do this right, to follow all instructions, to exercise and try to tone my skin back... but as I know from years of experience, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Ok, maybe that's a little harsh lol But you give me hope. Thank you SO MUCH!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I hope I don't get that kind of an answer when I have questions lol. I just want you to tell me what to take!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wow! So there's hope for me... thank you for your response. I'm just so scared that I'm going to look at myself down the road and think "what have I done???" But I don't think I will. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes, you look GREAT Babbs. You give me hope!! Lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I guess you're right. I'm 37, so I don't know if that's old or young for this surgery. And I know me; I'll try every cream and scrub that claims to help... ugh. I want to lose this weight, so I guess what does it matter if there's loose skin? Which do I hate more?! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
