how is your face looks like after surgery?



Recommended Posts

Here's my before (1 week preop) and after (8 weeks postop, down 45 lbs). I couldn't believe the difference in my face! The girl who does my nails said (in her broken Korean/English) "No lose more face! You not going to have any face left!" :D

That is an amazing difference you look like the sister of the person in the first picture..

I am pre-op, but have already starting speaking to my esthetician about great facials and skin tightening products. I use GlyMed Plus at home and they have amazing products for dark circles and I anticipate my home regimen may need to change post-op. anyway...I would encourage you to visit with a credible esthetician and treat yourself to a great facial!

I have people who don't even recognize me, so they say. The first two pics are almost 340 lbs and the bottom left was after losing 90 lbs, the bottom right pic is the most recent, I have lost 124 lbs and I think my skin is looking better.

Our faces show our weight loss first cuz the bones are closer too the surface. Also, my personal theory is that women lose weight from the top of our heads down! LOL!

Bur seriously, you may need to add some Omega 3 fats to your diet. It will help your skin and brain. Good sources, cold Water fish like salmon and sardines, avocados, organic eggs, organic Peanut Butter or other nut butters and nuts in general.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
