I'm worried what I will look like. Mostly I am worried my skin will be saggy and I'll look old!!

Yep! I am worried about it. I'm 57 and I'm real concerned about it,but I have made this commitment and I'm going to see it through. If I have to have skin removal surgery later on I will. Btw, i'm 5'5" and weigh 270, so I'm going to have some skin issues for sure.

Loose skin is nothing compared to how healthy you will be once the weight is off! Try not to think about the negative think about the positive!

It's hard enough having 3 c-sections which leaves me with 3 scars. A blood transfusion. My tubes tight. I have a hangy belly as it is but it doesn't cover ** area . Arms not so bad was worst but started working out. I know being healthy & having this surgery is excellent but when you are selfconcious (sp) and don't wanna even have sex imagine losing so much weight at once & not being able to exercise hard core & your body starts to sag. I will go into a deep depression that god knows when I will come back to the site for up dates or photos. I'm gonna feel nasty. Sorry but I'm the mist honest person ever. I have to say the truth. That's why I'm saving $ which I dont have but I refuse to be sad & depress over saggy skin. If I have to exercise 5 hours a day to avoid this or to have less I will do it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
