ReDbEaN 654 Posted November 7, 2013 I respectfully disagree. Extra skin is no burden compared to layers of fat. You can live a full life - healthy active joyeous -even if you need shapewaer. And clothes disguise excess skin but nothing hides obesity. My boyfriend was not bothered by my extra skin - it was me that wanted it gone. I liked my body before plastics but I didnt want extra skin waiting to be filled up again. Also I love stylish and fitted clothing and wanted to make that easier. I agree, CGJ...I've actually just been having rough days that make me soooo pessimistic...URGH!!! My hubby won't care...he's loved me through sooo much already, skin isn't an issue! But thanks:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReDbEaN 654 Posted November 7, 2013 chicken skin won't kill you. Plus.....it varies for everyone. Don't worry about it ahead of time. Yessir, Butter, sir ;-P and I know it won't kill me, but who wants to wear a swimsuit and look disgusting!?! 1 susan6161 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's why I planned in advance to have plastics. I knew I'd need it and even though I could have really used that money for other things, I just couldn't live the rest of my life with that jelly roll.

LipstickLady 25,682 Posted November 8, 2013 Gamegirl a good friend of mine had WLS and had the giggles all over. REALLY?? Nobody??? I have the giggles all over, too! 2 BlessedBeyondMeasure2012 and gamergirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlessedBeyondMeasure2012 296 Posted November 8, 2013 This may be TMI for some.....but after my TT my abdomen looks great. But my ass looks like 2 sleepy shar-peis. So I'm not the only who who has a saggy booty now. I swear my butt looks like an 80 year old lady's butt, if you've ever payed any attention (I work in the medical field and have seen more than my fair share of naked old lady bottoms -- gross) then you know it all sags but for some reason all to the middle, so you have this little booty just hanging down with droopy skin all wrinkledy above it. I'm so not happy about my butt hence the 30 day squat challenge. I am impatient, I know it. I've only been at the squat challenge a week or so but I already want a cute round booty and it just aint there. I'm thinking I need a 90 day squat challenge.... 2 gamergirl and Butterthebean reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I better start the squats. Already my butt has started to disappear, can the droop really be far behind, har har? 1 BlessedBeyondMeasure2012 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TexasMiss 314 Posted November 9, 2013 Geeez I'm glad I'm not alone. Down 107 lbs and it amazes me that my belly button has turned into a black hole. I thought I lost my belly button ring the other day but nope...just got sucked into the black hole. I have a tattoo above it of a butterfly... looks like a bat now that hit the windshield of a car going 90 mph! LOL 1 gamergirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vegasneon 181 Posted November 9, 2013 I'm really good at not registering what my body looks like at home in my same old mirrors but last month we were at a hotel with a mirrored wall in the bathroom. I had this sick fascination with all the ways my thighs are sagging. The worse thing is after over 30 years of a gigantic belly there is so much sag that from the belly button down my belly folds in now. So I have two belly halves like you have two butt cheeks! Very wierd. I also hate to walk around the house without my stretchy bike shorts or jeans on because of the amount of belly sway. I read a book several years ago by a lady who had lost a ton of weight and she said her skin kept adjusting for two years after she reached goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

140icandoit 25 Posted November 9, 2013 I'm starting to get into the loose skin stage; getting a little annoyed but also liking how much smaller I look! I started of at 234 (HW) and weighed in last Wednesday at 157.6! I'm a size 10-12 right now but I know that if I didn't have this flab+Post- baby fat I'd be in the single digits! Really considering plastic surgery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
