Anyone brave enough to share skin pics



Recommended Posts

I'm 9 months out, lost about 120 pounds so far and have about 20 more to go. At my follow up yesterday we discussed removing the excess skin I have hanging. My doctor recommends waiting another 6 months, which I'm good with, but was curious what to expect. I've had 6 kids, so there is literally no hope for tightening things up. Anyone care to share before/after photos of your panni surgeries? My thighs are bad too, but I'm starting with the tummy first.

The realself.com website is a great resource to see people's before/after plastic surgery photos. You can even post your own photos and have plastic surgeons comment on what they would recommend!

Enjoy! It's a great resource to read reviews on plastic surgeons too. You will have to create an account to be able to access the pictures.

I'm guessing that your doctor wants your body to settle in. You will probably lose more yet so it might be too premature to do the surgery yet. Just a guess, though. Congrats on the weight loss so far!! That's awesome!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
