lap band belly

THIS MAY SOUND GROSS TO SOME PEOPLE! I am so interested in how my belly may look after the surgery and then afte the weight has dropped off. I cant find any picutes that may give me any idea..given that my skin is so dark, that im only 26 years old and have pretty tight skin.. I know that I will not exercise as much as I should..probably half hour a day..in the begginng... Im just having a hard time seeing how it will look or my arms and thighs will sag...im also having a hard time determining how much weight I will loose or the time factor. CAN YOU TELL I OVER THINK WAY TOO MUCH... well if you can help..let me know ..if not...well thats okay too.. 4 more days..whoo hoo.. ta jess

I think we all wonder about those things Jess... guess we will have to wait and see! I noticed on your profile about not finding anyone to talk with.. have you ever posted on the main lapband board? Good luck with your surgery S.

yeah ive posted on there several times but havent really met many people from it...its always a post here and a post there but not much follow up..thas okay though

Hi Jess, well it totally depends on your age, amount of weight lost and general condition of your skin, I suppose. If you go to the plastic surgery board, you will find more info. Also, if you look at the profiles of lots of different people who are a long way post op, you will see many of them have pictures of them pre and post plastics. hugs, Helen
