When shopping for a swim suit no longer makes you feel suicidal or ashamed---or like eating your weight in Peanut Butter cups.

(Okay, I still hate seeing how my thighs pouf on the outside and sag with wrinkles on the inside, but it's just that one part!)

You know when you have lost weight when your left boob pops out while doing the backstroke, swimming. Swim suit too big need to buy a smaller one..

You truly now have the body of an athlete, before you did too, but unfortunately it was that of a Sumo wrestler.

I have really enjoyed reading the responses to my post the last few years, hard to believe it is going on over 3 1/2 years.

I had my ups and downs with a depressive episode but still on track and now took the next step. I got a Tummy Tuck and liposuction. Feels good to get rid of the arm rests and to sit in a chair look down and see the chair and not the hanging wall of loose skin. It is really nice to move my arms down my sides and not have the folding fat stop my arms from moving all the way down my sides or having the folding stomach flab hold up my folded arms.

Post op only 2 weeks and with the tummy tuck it takes 3 months for all the swelling to go away, I can now fit into my Slim Fit dress shirts. You don't really lose inches or weight except that which they remove (10 lbs of skin and fat) in the short run (back to waiting for swelling to go away). Short term results great and long run is looking very good.

While I can't relate to folding boobs from the sleeve surgery. From a guy perspective with the tummy tuck I can say it helps get a trim tummy, sews the muscles to get a six pack ab set and the tightening lifts the personal area a little higher position. So guys think about the saving for the next part of the process. I can tell you this much, I like the look and my girlfriend is quite appreciative and likes the results ;)

Keep up the replies, they are fun to read.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
