Whats the most most amount of skin you would allow yourself to have before you had a Tummy Tuck or panni? Would you rather use a wrap or would you want to go ahead and get that extra skin gone and be done with it? I have extra skin but friends and family say its fine and not to bother with it. I tried the wraps... i find them very unconfortable. I like to go shirtless in the summer but the same time am not too crazy about all the jiggly. Any men have a breast reduction??

Ultimately it is up to you. I think you look fine. If you feel uncomfortable and want it done then you should do whatever makes you happy. You have to live in your skin. Not anyone else.

I ended up getting a Tummy Tuck. I knew that no matter what I did the flab of skin hanging from my stomach was never going to shrink. Getting a tummy tuck was The Best decision. I am Soo happy now. I did wait several years to get a tummy tuck though. I wanted to be more than positive that I was never ever going to gain weight back. 4 years after surgery and I was still 115 lbs I knew I could handle it. Good luck in whatever you choose

I think you look great but if you don't feel that way is what matters. If you have the means to do so, think of it as a reward you DESERVE for accomplishing the weight loss and an investment in your self confidence.

I'm still 50 pounds to goal weight but plan on fixing my belly boobs and arms each year with tax returns.

In my eyes you look yummy. Handsome guy but you have to feel comfortable with your body. If you don't feel happy with loose skin then you should consider a Tummy Tuck or boob reduction. It depends on how you feel.

You really do look great. If you haven't already, you should post this in "The Man Room" post-op group so you can get more men's points of view. IMO you look fabulous now, so you'll look fabulous then. Do what makes you feel complete.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
