My surgery date is now 4 days away.  I have spent the last 9 months researching and looking at before and after shots.   I was curious, have any of you had any cosmetic alterations after surgery due to massive weight loss.  How well did your skin bounce back?

Davo, Have a Great one next week! I went from 385+ to 179 to 185 range. At 50 years old. My Man-Boobs (Moobs) drew up completely. No saggy skin except a little right at the waist. I had it nipped off summer before last. A Panniculectomy. Insurance covered it.

Sounds like you did well.  My nurse said I would probably max out somewhere in the 220's which is what I maintained in the service.  Thanks for the info

I had the DS  19 months ago....and lost about 300 lbs.  I was 33 when I had surgery, and am 35 now...and I have to be honest....while my skin doesn't look as bad as some (i've seen stomachs that hang to the knees)...it is BAD.  I need extensive plastics....which I knew going into the DS....does it suck?  Yes....is life unfair?  Yes....but thank GOD i don't weigh almost 500 lbs anymore!!!!
