Stella, Well what I told my other half was that the skin won't kill me, being this big will. I know it won't be a walk in the park, but at least I will be healthy. Congrats on your health!
I hope to be healthy some day soon! I jokingly refer to my excess skin as help for strength training -- carrying all this extra skin is my passive workout - ha ha ha! The skin may not be attractive, but Katy hit the nail on the head - the unhealthy behaviors that got us so big is what will kill us - but the skin is also a badge of honor - work done & done well!
We can always cover up the saggy skin - and I spent a few bucks on eBay buying support garments - my under armor of sorts!!!
Try to focus on the good stuff...
Brenda : )~
I didn't think about support garments. Well tomorrow is my first surgeon appt so keeping my fingers crossed. Very nervous to hear what she has to say. Also meeting with dietician and psych. Loooong morning. Butterflies in my big belly, lol.

You will be! All the things you can't do now you'll be doing soon, and the skin is a fair price to pay for it. I'm glad I did it everyday :)
Start: 487 lbs (8/07) Lost 81 lbs pre op on South Beach. 406 lbs at surgery (6/08). 179 post op, by 2011. I lost 308 lbs. Gained 98 while pregnant (2012-13) lost all but 25. My goal is to be 179 again!
Two years after that....
I could not be happier.
