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.

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 ;)

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..

Lol! I was really trying to not sound like a Pervster McPervy Perv with this post. I just really want to see what loose skin issues people have after the weight loss. I promise!

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!

costco has some high-waist yoga pants that have a colorful waistband on one side and solid black on the other. They are a miracle. You will find mid-rise pants are your new best friend.

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.

      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!
