Bf/after LBL - Quick Peak! Then removing.



Recommended Posts

With great reservation I am putting up one month before and after photos. I hope I made them decent enough. I am going to take them down really soon so if you PM me I will send them to you seperately.

I am really pleased with the results. I do not have butt pictures which is by far the greatest change for me but you can tell a little from the side view shot. As you can also tell by my belly button I am still pretty swollen. I am hoping to get more definition in my waist.

Here goes!

WOW !!! Forget about the swelling....you look great !!!

I want to thank you for posting these pictures, I've been trying to figure out what I might look like after a TT and your 'before' picture is a lot like the skin/tummy I'm dealing with. Funny actually, we've lost almost the identical amount of weight !!!

Congrats and thanks again !!!

THanks guys! Its nice to have the positive feedback since it is so scary posting these pictures. I have to admit that so far I am extremely pleased - I can't even believe that is me sometimes. I wish I had some pics comparing my butt though because most of the skin removed was from my behind. I am really lucky - my surgeon did an AMAZING job.

Wow, I'm floored, you look amazing. Your before tummy looks just like mine does now....makes me think again about saving that $20k I was quoted earlier this year for a LBL.

THanks so much for your kind words. It means so much coming from people who totally understand where I am at! I feel like my shape is really sqaure right now which takes adjusting to ... as you can see from the before picture I have always been curvy, even after losing weight. Now as you can see I am almost like a sqaure! I hope my waist will get smaller but even if it doesn't I am thrilled. I'll leave this up for a day or two more and then when I take them down - whoever wants to see me can PM.

Hi KarenG, Wow!! Congratulations you look great. Thank you for being brave enough to put your photos on here. I have lost 25 kilos (55lbs) since January and have a very saggy stomach. I now think I might consider a TT when I have lost the rest of my weight. I hope you are feeling wonderful. You should.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
