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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
