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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
