Have you had any other work done?? I could only hope to loose weight and have nice looking skin like yours. Skin is my BIGGEST hang up

I never had plastic surgery. My only surgeries are 3 cesarean and gastric bypass.

Thanks for the compliment according to my surgeon I don't look so bad for a person that lost 98 pounds in 11 months.

The more I look at my self the more I actually love my self just not the skin. I look pass that and focus on wow! I can now wear a size 1 I don't look so nasty like I was thinking before. I just want to look & feel better. I honestly can't live my life with saggy skin flat butt & saggy boobs. I'm very sexual & if I can get a job off the books as a waitress making top dollar cuz I look good alright!!

I saw myself as "not that fat" for many years. I'm thinking from puberty I had this mind set and then over the years my weight has gradually increased and I still thought the same way. It wasn't until my recently that I have accepted the fact that I am morbidly obese and need to do something and fast. I dread taking full body pics. When you see my avatar I don't look that bad there right? lol. I met my husband online and only had a head shot on my profile and when he met me he admitted that he thought I was much smaller.....well surprise surprise lol. He still loves me and has been with me and supported through the weight gain and even the small successes that I have had with diet and working out. But like I said I finally accepted the fact that I'm obese and I'm not ashamed to take pictures...mainly because I know that I'm not going to look this way for long and I want to invite people to view my journey to encourage those who may come after me.

I'm glad you are able to help others. That's a positive way if seeing it. I do the same but some ppl want a quick fix & it's not a quick fix. I got lazy with exercise but I lost it fast cuz when I started I was non stop exercise & did it the right way. Now I'm pretty thin & I don't need so much exercise & I need to hold on to the tiny body fat to get surgery done. Smh fat is bad but try too thin & needing more fat. I wish they can transfer someone body fat to me seriously.

This sounds like me. Years I said I'm not fat. But in 2012 I seen what everyone else was seeing. My dad took a full shot of me. Omg, I was fat. I had a shot at new life March 11,2013. I was 246 I'm now 191. I can't wait to lose 51 more.

I also always saw myself as not being as big as I am. I always thought I looked better till I saw myself in a reflection. I was mortified when I took my pre op pics. At my pre op appointment though there was a lady that definitely looked bigger than me. She just openly asked how much weight did I need to lose. I said about 100lbs. She didn't believe me. She asked me to stand so she could see. I was embarrassed but did it anyway. I told her I weighed 260lbs. She was in complete disbelief. That made me feel good. I feel I have been well built for my weight because I am thick but don't have any rolls. I'm worried about what I will look like thin because I have 42ddd boobs and no butt.

We are similar in size and starting weight.

My boobs were a 42F. They are currently a 34D, but they look like Water balloons. I am waiting to have plastic surgery to put them in the right spot.

If mine are still a d after weightloss I will likely get a reduction and lift that way insurance will pay for it. If you have back pain and are willing to get a reduction with your lift your insurance may pay for it also.

That is my plan. A reduction and lift. I have carried these heavy things long enough! Hubby has had 13 years to play with then and I will not be having a child. Time to downsize!
