Hello everyone.

I am scheduled for surgery on June 18.

As everyone I am concerned about extra skin and keeping everything together as best as possible. I am considering wearing a body suit. Has anyone had any experience with this? Is it working for you? Where did you purchase it? I've seen these for post Lipo suction and plastic surgery but those are clearly not available in my current size. Thanks for any and all feedback. :)

I never thought of it. I heard you need to use lotions (I think with Vitamin E). Also of course exercise. I was thinking of just doing a Spanx because I would feel uncomfortable. Anything you find please share !

I am going to find some compression garments and see what they do and hope that I can snap back a bit since I'm still in ny twenties fingers crossed. Other than that I've started a serious skin care regimen. In the morning I shower with shea or cocoa butter soap or african black soap then i use a collagen cream all over. At night i lay it on thick with cocoa butter and bio oil (with my ugly bedsheets so i dont ruin my nice ones) and I am using mederma on the worst parts of my stretch marks before every moisturizing. I keep some lotion at work and rub it on where I can when I go to the bathroom. I keep all my products together by my Vitamins and dedicate time to it each day. And soon I'm going to find a trainer or program where I can work out focusing on my inner things and breasts since building muscle should probably definitely help the sagging. *fingers crossed*

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
