Looks great to me! Your boobs look really good! And your torso ; have you had any plastics or is that hard work? Curious I'm just starting out and freezing the loose skin and no boobs.

You look amazing! The only people who would be unkind are heartless anyway and have to talk about others to make themselves feel good because they normally don't have any self esteem!! So go on girl..wear that bikini proudly!

Thank you all! :) I'm feeling so great, and it just doesn't seem to come down from this constant high!! Life is truly truly better on the other side. Is life perfect? Of course not, but not having the fat suit on all day I have to say has made it all worth going through.

Hugs!! Keep fighting every single day, and never ever give up! Wake up every morning with a new opportunity to work towards making it a great day, that is how I worked my program - and it works... it really does!

Now, for the record - I have had breast augmentation and some liposuction in my problem areas. However that is all I've had, I have NOT had any skin removal whatsoever. I do plan to in the future, so I can only imagine how amazing my results will be once I'm healed up from all that.

GOOD LUCK AND BLESSINGS!!!

      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. 🤞
