You will have hair loss of some kind

Thank you for openly sharing your thoughts on this. Interesting

Sounds like an excellent time to shine.

Do it for you. Your life is worth fighting for, once you move forward others see you success finally shut up and start cheering you on. This has been my experience. I’m so happy that I’m off all meds, and even the sleep apnea is better then it was before. I’ve lost 135 lbs in 10months. I’m loving life and the confidence I have. It’s is a lot of hard work and the surgery is not an easy fix but it is a tool to get on a healthy lifestyle. I wish you the best.

Great job. Looking beautiful

I did it! I lost 135 lbs in 10months and climbed to Everest Base Camp this week. It took 10 days hiking up and 5 days down. This was my first hiking experience ever. I been dreaming to do this for the past 5 years and finally it is checked off my bucket list! I feel so good every day. Even on my bad days I feel better then when I weight 294lbs. That is success to me!

Beautiful

Do awesome! I am so proud of you!

I have come across Bone broth for a great way to have protein without the meat. there is a lot on google on how to make. it is so cheap to make as well. after i make it i freeze it in ice cube trays then place in zip lock bag in freezer. when i make beans, veggie, lentils, eat i place a cube of it in food to melt and it adds great flavor to veggies and the protein i need. check it out.

great question. i also wonder same thing. I haven't been at this weight since i was a teenager, and I'm 45 years old now. I am just loving the way i feel and look. I know i want to do skin remover surgery anyways so I'm on with what ever i drop off now. I think what is getting frustrating is how uncomfortable my weight is making people around me. They are so use to me being fat that now i am at normal size they say it to skinny for me. They just want me to look like i did. But i am on my journey and i will be what i am comfortable with. and that is taking this new life change one day at a time. best of luck.

YEAH!!!! Great job! you rock your new look!

wow, this is awesome! i love hearing your experience. I'm on my journey and am looking for the next steps of skin removal. Who did your surgery and how much was it. also are you going to post any pictures? I'm so happy for you and wish you the best.

that was wonderful how you had the same place for everything! also i haven't heard anything about dog ears, i need to look that up. your tips were great. i will sure use them as i am looking. i also agree about being realistic in what it will look like after. I already am so happy to be healthy and my close do hide a lot but i know having that skin taken off put a whole new feeling and level of achievement when its all said and done. i have the time off work to heal. thank you for posting and being a light for us who are learning.

i went with a company called www.beliteweight.com they were amazing in taking care of everything. for RNY it cost $8900 you fly into Texas and the hospital is 20 min drive away. beautiful room and no problem with people speaking english. i was pampered by them in every way. they pick u up at airport and drop you back off. everything was included in price except my flight.
