Having second thoughts.....
Its definitely about getting healthy! I like how I look now!!! I do not have low self esteem. I just think reading those stories on here freaked me out.
you will have to decide if getting healthy or liking how you look now is more important to you,because, chances are,there will be some loose skin issues somewhere.
90% of what I read on this board is ppl who are thrilled with the results of their surgeries!loose skin or not.
Really, 90% of what you read is people saying they hate the way their bodies look? Then it seems like you're reading some pretty biased materials.

Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
At this point, you don't have to even think about skin removal. Instead, focus on how much better you'll feel as your health improves.
For me, my insurance will cover the breast reduction and pannectomy if I meet their criteria, but no tummy tuck, or removal of bat wings, etc. Guess I won't be wearing sleeveless blouses or shorts. But that's okay. I already feel like a million bucks and I'm only half-way to goal.
I'm sure you'll learn a lot more as you familiarize yourself with these boards. 99% of the people here are happy with the results of their WLS and would do it again at the drop of their hat.
Good luck to you!
