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*

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
