Ok so I have a friend who went an she showed me what she looks like now. I'm just wondering if anyone has any before and after photos without having any cosmetic surgeries? Is there anyone who didn't feel the need for skin removal or is that a must with VSG?

I don't know how to put the direct link on here, but if you can type in pics skin scars in the search box under forums, then look for the title "pics,scar, skin, and stretch marks oh my". The post is by sassafras, she has plenty of pics. Hope this helps

it is NOT a must that you have plastics after you lose your weight

you won't get arrested if you don't have cosmetic surgery :lol:

i lost 105 lbs - reaching my goal :)

i do have plenty of extra skin :angry:

i "lost" my rear end :o so the skin is just kindof hangin' around :lol:

same is true with my inner thighs and below my arms

i had a Tummy Tuck about 15 years ago

i "think" thats why my tummy didn't get big, rolls

i also didn't/couldn't deal with the price

"looks" like your still pre-op???

don't know for sure cuz you don't have a ticker or profile :angry: (hint, hint ;))

good luck bud

Jared the subway guy lost more than a VSG patient and faster and has no excess skin issues. A lot of it has to do with age.

      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.
