I'm 37 years old, 5'6" and I started at 285 lbs. I lost 30 lbs before surgery, so 255 lbs on day of surgery. I'm five and a half months post op now and I weigh 179 lbs. I have a small amount of loose skin on my upper arms and lower belly and some crepiness and loose skin on the tops of my inner thighs. I still have weight to lose so my skin may get worse, but at this point it's really not bad.

Hello, I'm 10 years older, and my skin, well lets just say it has a mind of its own.  I have much more noticeable wrinkles now.  I have a huge turkey waddle neck (I knew I would, I've always had the fat *****  I really believe I looked better before surgery when I was fatter.  BUT I can't change the fact that I'm loving my size 14 jeans (which are a little big right now)--after being in a tight 28 before, and I'm loving getting out in the world and being able to walk somewhere without stopping every 5 minutes and having to wipe the perspiration off (yes, even in the winter).

Started at (266 lbs)          Pre-op (249) 7/10/13             Present (173) 03/19/14
