Omg, you have to feel amazing!

I am 2.5 months postop and I have lost 53 pounds since my surgery day. I started out at 310. I am starting to get worried about saggy skin since I am loosing so fast.

Do you have much saggy skin?

Should I start exercising to reduce it? What exercises and other treatments do you use?

Saggy skin....Depends on your age and yes how much weight you had to lose...I have a big spare tire that drives me nuts..I use shaper tees to keep a lot of that in...The lose skin will be something that a good plastics will deal with in time...

Keep up with your Water and biotin...It all helps..same with your vitamins...You will have lose skin or not...

I would rather have loose skin that I can hide with clothes then be 380 again and be the center of bad attention....Right now...No one knows who I am......It is wonderful to not be the center of attention anymore!!!!

      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. 🤞
