I first want to say I am soooo thankful I have lost weight....I hope I don't sound like I'm complaining, but OMG my neck looks soooo weird now. It looks like I'm straining :(...I'm glad it's not saggy, but it looks so wrinkly and tight now. Is anyone else going through this??? Is there anything I can do for it??? I pray it doesn't get any worse :(

Do me a favor chickee. . . Go google pics of celebrities that are our age and similar weights and really look at their necks, okay??? I think you will be amazed at what you see.

My neck looks super similar to yours, and it has tightened up some being a lot further out. But, when I turn my head a certain way, or draw my neck back, I look like a sharpei puppy ha ha ha.

See what I mean at my neck ? ? ? But, I go and google Renee Zellweger and Sandra Bullock pics with their necks cocked sideways, or looking back and they have those wrinkles too so it makes me feel better about it. I have a bit of turkey neck as well that just appeared over the last few months. Before it was super tight, or drawn taut, but now I have that little bit of skin right at the middle of my throat. I've already decided for my 40th, a mini facelift will be on tap ! ! !

Thanks guys!

It has been over 20 years since I've been this weight so mixed with age (ugh lol) and just not being use to seeing myself at this weight again it makes sense.

I guess it's made me even more self conscience because my kids are constantly saying MOM STOP MAKING YOUR NECK TIGHTEN UP LIKE THAT, but I just realized THEY have NEVER seen me this weight. I hit 188 back in 2004 but not this weight.

I just have to get use to it too : )

You have a beautiful, long, young looking neck! It looks "strange" to you because you're not used to it, but I'm sure to others it looks great! My neck isn't thin enough to look that pretty (YET), but I have noticed that my rolls are getting smaller :)

Thin women always worry about their necks! You have such a beautiful face, and your so sporty now, thats really the impression you leave, not of a strange neck. I really work my neck in my dance class hoping to get the very look you have! My tendons do show up more now... better than what was there before! Tell those kids to hop on the shut-up train!

sleeve 4 me, you look great! And your skin looks great too :) Nothin wrong with your neck at all.

Have you ever tried a relaxing shoulders & neck massage? Maybe you're holding tension in your neck and that's part of why you feel like your neck muscles are standing out. If you are, and you do try a massage, I bet you'll FEEL much better cuz neck tension is the worst.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
