Hey there guys it so hard to find younger people to talk to so I was so excited to find this forum. Does anyone feel being younger helps with the excess skin??

I am 29 and has the surgery in September of last year when I was 28....I have lost 117.8lbs and so far my skin is going back to normal. But now is the tough part, building muscle to keep the skin tight and lots of exercise. I still have a little over 80 more lbs to lose. But I can tell you this surgery is worth it. It changed my life and my health.

I'm not far out enough yet to know what my skin is going to do, but everyone says it helps :)

I often wonder as well I'm 28 years of age and often search you tube looking for people who started off at my size or around it to see what they look like.

The first is me at 364lbs second is me at 246.2lbs my legs have went back amazingly as well as my face and tummy. My problem area is my underarms. A lot of people in my group of September 2012 members are using wraps that are working wonders for their skin.

What kind of wraps?! I got a massage last week and the massage therapist sent me info on wraps called the ultimate body applicator and I saw before and after pics and its crazy how well it worked after only one wrap!

      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. 🤞
