kfaery215 14 Posted February 23, 2018 If you guys look at my first post I am new to this community and beginning my journey. I am 5'6" 336lbs. I'm going for a bypass. I know there is going to be loose extra skin from my real life fat suit. How do you feel about it? Are you embarrassed? Proud because it shows your commitment? How do you deal with it on a daily basis for cleanliness? What about intimacy with your partner?I am very self conscious as it is and I've seen people with loose skin and I didn't know why and I thought it looked creepy. So I know people who don't know my think that of me and it bothers me some. Sent from my SM-T377V using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creekimp13 5,840 Posted February 23, 2018 People are people...they're gonna think weird crap about everything. As the song goes....you can't please everyone, so you gotta please yourself. My loose skin is goofy. Yep, I look a little like melted cheese. LOL But I look dang good in clothes these days, and even a bathing suit...so that's pretty cool:) My hubby is all about thinner me...then again...he was all about fatter me, too...so that hasn't changed much. In new relationships, I can see where it could be awkward, but people are pretty understand really. Everyone has something, you know? Cleanliness is no issue. Just shower. And ultimately, if it bothers you....there's skin surgery somewhere down the road if you want it. It's kind of a nonissue for me. Others might feel different. 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abefroman329 704 Posted February 23, 2018 It's already showing up and I'm not crazy about it, but we'll see if it sticks around. If it doesn't, I'll probably look into plastic surgery. I'd like to be able to wear tighter clothes and having a giant-ass pouch around my belly won't help the look. 1 1 FluffyChix and TexasMommy80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
