Ode to Loose Skin
My body droops now
Like melted string cheese, or Tommy Wiseau
Flacid fat, deflated flesh balloon
Crepey like wadded tissue,
gross as a handful of chicken fat
Ugly and endearing as a manatee
(the pancake of the sea)
I love every inch of my loose hide
Every sagging absence of fat
Where my angular clavicles slant
Propelled by calves that could have been
Sculpted by Michelangelo
Makes me smile at its absurdity
We laugh to survive

This is an excellent poem! Your sense of sound is artful- especially appreciated the lines

Every sagging absence of fat
Where my angular clavicles slant
Thanks for the poetic pep talk! I just got approved and am waiting on my date and the sags with great anticipation.

Damn you are close to your goal :rolleyes: I knew I would have loose skin under my arms and on my stomach but on my knees LOL oh well I'll take it over the 55 pounds of fat that was once there and I am hoping it all goes back in to place ;) (just f**king around) I'm good with it.

Oh yes to much skin! I knew my stomach would be bad which it is. But I never thought I would have a problem with my thighs and arms. I had a pic taken of me in a tank top and I cringed!! I will still take this over what I had before!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
