Everyone is different. I know someone who had the bypass started @279lbs and now at 170 and she looks AMAZING! She is bikini ready and as had her surg 5yrs ago..oh did I mention she only walked daily and she was 50yrs old time of surg..her advise to me keep the Protein and Water up! Pilates always worked for me it tones the body real nice. Search web for skin toning and firming soaps cebraonline.com Name of soap VEGAN SHEA BUTTER SOAP WITH MIXED GARDEN HERBS

First of all...congrats on your weight loss, you are doing amazing! I am 6 months out and have the same issues, Hair loss, sagging skin ( that is only on my arms and a little on the butt...lol) You are just where your body needs to be, everyone is different. Keep up the fantastic work!

theres a huge difference between loose skin and flab. loose skin is when u can grip the skin & pull it and it stay very wrinkled when u let go & slowly goes back into place. flab is loose fat that hangs. i have flab on my stomach, arms & inner thighs. i have extra skin on my boobs.

im less than 8months post op & im over 100lbs down. im turning 24 in a few days so age plays a huge difference. also, i read someone say that at 2yrs post op, their skin tightened up a lot. your skin is elastic & needs time to shrivel up nicely.

      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. 🤞
