 I had never really thought about this until my recent total nervous breakdown at my workplace (post-op blues hormonal thing) ...  One thing the boss brought up to me that day in my office while desperately attempting to console me was, "would it help any if you had surgery to remove the loose skin?" ...    That comment only served to put me in an even deeper "frump" (to put it mildly)    I had never mentioned anything about my loose skin to other before and, in fact, still wear greatly oversized clothes (mostly pants) so that it is covered ..         This got me to thinking, so how many people DO see it and notice my loose skin?     Is it that visible somehow?    Now I REALLY feel like cr** until I have PS .     So what has ya'lls' experiences been in that regard re:  the response(s) of others?

No so bad here, as I only lost about 135 pounds to get down to 215. However, I plan on a panni for Christmas. I know Dx had one, and there are a few others around here as well. I see it as just another step in the process of taking charge of my wellness. Much like the dental work I had earlier this year. I think my clothes will fit better too. I wear 38's now, and without my apron, I'm sure I would drop to 36, if not 34's. I know it is hard to buy and wear clothes that fit well, but you really should try that. I still wear shirts that are a size too big sometimes, but have been buying the "right" size recently. I still have to MAKE myself by "L" T-Shirts, instead of XXL or XL. How F'ed up is that? JP

I had somebody notice and mention it today. I hadn't noticed it myself when clothed, but they said they could see it in the way my clothes were clinging. I guess I'm never going to have that healthy toned loo****il I get the P.S. Scott
