LynRN 294 Posted November 19, 2013 Hi all. I am set to be sleeved on 11/25 and have been looking at lots of before and afters. I am 5"2 and 255lbs with all of my weight concentrated around my middle. It is very hard for me to picture what my body and skin may look like after I lose half my body weight. Would any of you lovely people be willing to show pics of what you looked like before surgery and how your skin has adapted to the loss: not asking for nudes, but just pics that show the excess skin, if you are willing to show it.

Ms.AntiBand 2,984 Posted November 19, 2013 Lol..With the title being skin pics I assumed lipstick lady would be here On the note of skin.. well I'm 56 years old so regardless of weight loss my skin is not a public request Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowgirlJane 14,260 Posted November 19, 2013 Go to the cosmetic surgery forum and look at the thread I started called something like "two weeks progress". There are before WLS after goal and then after plastics. Still healing from plastics so dont have final results yet.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted November 19, 2013 I think if you had used a catchy title like "LET ME SEE YOUR HANGY SKIN" You'd get more response.. 1 Ms.AntiBand reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just really want to see what loose skin issues people have after the weight loss. I promise! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AtlantaRed 651 Posted November 20, 2013 I am 5'2" and my highest wt was 275-ish, date of surgery was 230, today 110. here are pics, after my weight loss and before TT/panni. Thanks so much for posting these pics! I've been trying to imagine what I might look like deflated, and I seem to be built about the same way. Maybe to others it may sound weird, but I will be very excited if I look like this at goal. I imagine a compression tank and decent jeans will hold it in enough to look preety good in clothes!

My stats were similar to yours, and I have lost 104 pounds. I am an apple shape all the way. The truth is - the stomach ain't pretty. I have to wear compression garments for clothes to look nice. It's a downer, but I will take this over going back to my starting weight any day of the week! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are a miracle. You will find mid-rise pants are your new best friend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erp 2,016 Posted November 22, 2013 I am 5'2" and my highest wt was 275-ish, date of surgery was 230, today 110. here are pics, after my weight loss and before TT/panni. I'm 15 lbs from goal and my skin is similar except I also have puddles of skin at the bottom of my butt. When is your TT? I think I would need a LBL. 1 TheRealMeIsHere! reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
