Almost the same for me. I'm 64. Down 100 lbs. Lift 3x a week, cardio daily. Loose skin everywhere. I would like to have the surgery, especially on my arms. It's on my goal list.
Thank you for being so open and honest. You are refreshing. I've dropped about 145 pounds. I don't say lost because what's lost can be found, and I don't want to find it again. 😊 Anyway, I had the extra skin removed from my stomach but not the other surgeries as I'm 72 and figure I can live with it. But, honestly, if I had the finances, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I wear 3/4 sleeves to hide the skin on my arms and don't wear shorts like I use to my the upside is I feel so much better. Thank you for all your videos and how you help us with our weight loss and keeping it off journey. ❤
I’m 70 and lost 40 lbs.. have about 10 more lbs to lose.. I do have loose skin but won’t get any surgery done.. thank God my husband loves me the way I look..
Lost 289lbs. My husband said it is my choice. However, due to other health issues he doesn't want me to take the risk. The only thing I want is my arms. My legs i can't get done due to having lymphedema.But right now we are saving for a house so I don't want to pay for it. Yes please share the journey.
After loosing that much weight, wouldn't your health insurance cover it? You should look into that. Congratulations on your achievement by the way 👏 that's amazing!
I would love to see your scar revision journey! I’d like to have a Mommy makeover one day. I still have plenty of weight to lose from baby #3 but am very interested in an honest experience to take into consideration. Thanks for always being so open, honest and positive about such common topics us woman have questions about. You’re so inspiring! Sending 🫶🏼 from Fresno, Ca!
Hey all, My partner and I lost 175 lbs between the 2 of us doing carnivore and then keto. We used fasting and intermittent fasting and neither of us have major loose skin issues. We sear that this is what helped us. We would regullary intermiitent fast using 16/ 8 and then did several 24 hours and up to 72 hours. As she said, everyone is individual but this is worth a try to avoid pain and scars as she said.
Scars over excess weight all day, every day. No contest, no comparison! You look incredible, Mayra! Be proud of how far you come! All the best with your scar retouching!
I love how you are so open about your weight experiences. You are a beautiful person inside and out and I can tell because of the way you’re always trying to help people. So thanks for being you because you brighten my days and weight loss journey as I’m sure you do others too! I just wanted to say thanks and glad I found you and God bless! ♥️🙏🙏🙏
I would love to see a vlog on that journey!! It’s so amazing how you’ve lost all that weight and you look so fantastic girl!! I had implant surgery recently from a breast reconstruction due to breast cancer! And i am still healing but i wear the scars with pride😊😊❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🎉🎉
I’ve had so many surgeries for various reasons! Scars are nothing more than battle wounds! Wear them with pride. I’ve also had a tummy tuck so I get that scar being the worst! Can’t wait to see your before and after! Best of luck!
Thank you so much for being so transparent and honest with us! You truly are an inspiration!! Your genuine heart and kindness is so appreciated and will naturally draw people into you! Yes, please share your journey, before and after photos I believe you mentioned. God bless you!
You are so inspiring not only with how much you share of your recipes and overall journey but with how positive you are about your body image! Discussing loose skin after weight loss is a VERY senisitive topic for so many people. I personally know it is the reason I am scared to lose weight (again) but listening to you talk so openly about it helps me because your heart is truly in the right place in how you want your experience to help others. Thank you! And YES! I'd love to see the continuation of your new surgery journey!
I'm currently thinking about the weight loss surgery because I weigh 270 lbs, but I'm 60 years old and kinda scared. I'm diabetic and need to get healthier, so I can hopefully, be blessed with many more birthdays!! You look great,and keep pursuing what makes you happy!!🎉🥰🤗
Thank you for being honest about this. I’m losing weight, also getting more lose skin. Not sure I will have the courage to do the surgeries you’ve had. However, your story is encouraging to me.
thank you for this video. Often, many have unrealistic expectations and/or believe we have had constant surgeries if we've lost a lot of weight. I lost 138 lbs back in 2007 from Gastric Bypass and never have had addtl surgery. I kept my skin elasticity by eating protein and staying active but I never was a gym person. I walk and watch my eating by eating a KETOVORE lifestyle.. Heavy meat keto.. no processed foods. I would love to view a full video on your upcoming surgery and recovery.. May God Bless you journey and recovery.
You're just wonderful, I had to have a knee replacement because of a severe torn meniscus. You made me feel so much better about having this scar. I have lost 28 lbs , and I want to get 180 lbs. You're so great just talking and showing things to eat and making it feel so much easier. I enjoy your channel so much. I made your wraps for dinner and dessert. I made the yogurt with the hard shell with sea salt to make look special, and no one knew I put it in dessert glasses 😋, my husband never knew. Thank you so much Elizabeth
Yes as someone who has been trying to lost weight all my life I have been trying harder for the last eight years losing77 lbs pounds thur many ups and down and have 47 to go. I am also looking in to surgery. I would love to see your journey
After losing my 130 lbs I have a ton of extra skin. I was intermittent fasting . I’m glad you brought up this subject! I struggle with not being able to afford the surgery and if I did is it worth all that. Plus nobody talks about the painful, chronic yeast infections you get with extra skin just like when you’re overweight ….Ugh!
You are such an inspiration!! I think it would be great for you to video the process of having your scars removed. You are so honest and forthright! Thank you!!
I’m 75 years old and just discovered you! I’m so very proud of you and thankful you’re healthy and helping others be healthy! You’re sweet, humble, honest and darling! ❤
I'd love to see your scar revision journey. I have had 4 c-sections and I may be getting a scar revision in the future on my c-section scar as it has been causing me some issues lately. I'd love to see what one entails.
You’ve been such a support for me while I work on my weight loss journey after baby! I’ve gained about 60 lbs that needs to go bye bye. Thank you for all you do! Side note: you have the longest most beautiful fingers!! lol so random but I can’t stop watching them while you do gestures
I had 2 surgeries in my life. On my right knee I had reconstructed knee surgery because I tore my acl and lateral meniscus my senior year of highschool from football. And 2 years later I had polyps removed from my nose because my parents never believed me when I told them I didn't feel good when I was a kid.
Thank you for sharing this and being so open and vulnerable. A lot of “influencers“ that have lost weight hide the steps they took before / after. I’m 33 and starting my journey; I’m 201.00 and I’m trying to get back down to 125.
Yes please!!! 💪VLOG Please include your surgeon's office too. I'm in So-Cal, in Whittier and want two different skin removal surgeries.❤Please and thank you
Than you for sharing! I had the sonobello procedure done 9 months ago and no regrets. Lipo and skin removal. Hate the arm and thigh loose skin but don’t think I will get surgery for this.
I lost 100lbs, got pregnant gained 100 back, and lost it now kept off for years, I look like a deflated balloon especially, my stomach, biceps, breasts, & thighs 😢
I lost 115 lbs and have such loose skin. But now I am pregnant and it's filling out a little. After this child I am going to get my weight down and try to figure out a way to get loose skin removal
I gained weight in my arms and breasts. Like A LOT. I lost the weight and my arms look terrible but I’m afraid of getting surgery because of the scars that would be left on my arms. I have that crinkly skin too. Especially at the top near my underarms. I’d love to see before and after of your arm scars.
Some day I will have these surgeries. I'm about 1 year from my personal weight loss goal, but the constant friction burns, and yeasties under my tummy, it can't happen soon enough for me!
I put on 30kgs with my first child at 23 and then lost 35kgs. My tummy was so gross and saggy. I had two more children at 27 & 30 and also put on 30kgs it took 12yrs to lose that weight. My tummy was saggy but also my legs & arms. At 38 I had pelvic floor issues which required an operation. My doctor told me that I had bad connective tissue but didn’t advise me what to do. Now at 52 I have learnt that for bad connective tissue you need lots of protein and collagen and that unfortunately my body is like that and I need to work harder nourishing it more than others. When I was younger I never ate protein, it was toast and noodles. At least you are at an age that you probably fix or reverse stuff
Ive lost anout 150 lbs 7 years ago. Clean eating. I have extra skin, but i can live with it. Yhe surgeries are hard, i'm proud of myself. For me its more how i feel inside. I am happy.
Thank you for you honesty. I’m losing weight and want to get at least a tummy tuck. I would love to see your progress through the next surgeries”touch ups”.
So glad you decided to speak on this, I've been looking for scarring treatments but not exactly because of weightloss. Would love to see a vlog of your treatment process, maybe even some FAQs answered from your doctor would be very helpful too! Go Mayra! ❤
Wow! You are incredibly brave to have done this at such a young age! It is so beautiful to see you happy and confident. I was 16 years old when I got plastic surgery -Rhinoplasty! I paid for it all on my own. It cost $4500 CAD and $1500 CAD for the Anesthesia and hospital bed for one night. My father came with me at the consult to give consent. The plastic surgeon did a terrible job but I was still happy I got it done. I am 50 years old today and I am still healing from the scars left behind. Not the scars of the surgery, but the scars from being teased from having a big nose. Building back my self-confidence took a lifetime. You inspire me☺️
I lost bout 85lbs and want to get this done after I lose the last 20-30lbs. I lift weights but if I get to my goal weight, and I'm not happy with how I look. I will do it.
Do think its possible for someone to lose 100lbs and not have loose skin?? Does it just depend on the person or is it something that happens to everyone???
I had Gastric Bypass back 2009 and lost 110 lbs. I did regain like 50 lbs over the years, but I did Keto./low carb and lost 40 of it so far. I still would like to lose like 20 more. I do think about all the lose skin, but I am not sure having skin removal is really worth it. I am 64 years old. and have had so many suegery on my stomach. 3 C Sections, 2 hysterectomies, Gallbladder. My belly isn't too too bad, but I have the batwings and the thunder thighs. I also have the turkey neck. I would love to follow your journey with you to see if I could do it.
I have a heart shaped scar under my left eye, due to skin cancer, I would love to have that not so prominent, all though nobody says anything I know its there and make up makes it look worse. You are so brave to have all those surgeries, but you look amazing, well done you and great to have a lovely Grandma. Xx
I'm interested to travel the surgical journey as I'm very curious. I admit, I'm a chicken about pain. I've lost 35 pounds in my weight loss journey. I need to lose 40 more.
Yay! Loved this video. Actually been waiting for this detail info. I’ve dreamt about having a tummy tuck for over 20 years 😔 because I hate my abdominal pooch so much. But I don’t have an exercise routine and now at almost 62 I say to myself, ‘it’s too late now’ So I enjoy this info and am still fascinated. Yes! Please take us along your scar removal journey :)
I really want a thigh lift and an arm lift. Would you be willing to share your scars? They may be in a place that you can't share, and I will understand that, but I do keloid, and then after a few years, they go flat, so I would be interested in knowing what the scars look like. Thanks for considering. Lisa
It was really generous for you to share this with us. I’m on my weight loss journey and have no idea how my skin is going to react. I’m scared but like you, I will definitely get surgery, especially on my boobs. Speaking of boobs, yours look amazing and perky, are you one of those people who just naturally have nice breast and breast skin? I’m sure not.
Myra you are just lovely inside and out. Thank you for your simplicity, honesty and transparency. We love you and your darling daughter. God bless your journey, channel and home. Thanks for taking us along with you.😘😘GG From Minnesota
Off topic here. Would you be able to tell me what paint color is in your bedroom? It kind of looks like "agreeable grey"? Your bedroom is beautiful, love that rug also! Thank you!
It is very interesting to hear about the scars. I had an appendectomy at age 9 and I have the same scar as you described for yourself. I am currently on my weight-loss journey and have lost 47 pounds so far. Still have 69 to go. I've done mine very slowly. I'm almost a year in on my weight-loss journey and so far, I do not have the loose skin like you've described. I'm working out and semi dieting. I still eat what I like or what agrees with me, really, because of my gluten intolerance. Which is fine. Hard but fine. Now, I have been using the compounded semaglutide because wegovy has been impossible to get. The wegovy was insurance approved but because the wait list was ridiculous long, my doctor found a compound pharmacy close by and I've been using them. I've struggled with the semaglutide but insurance approved a dietitian and that's been extremely helpful. I have not had the side effects like many experience with loose bowels or extreme weight-loss. I had at first constipation but that worked itself out (no pun intended 😅) and I have been normal. During all of this, because I'm in my mid 40s, I've dealt with low testosterone (yes ladies can have that and it's very drastic when it happens) and a low functioning thyroid. Through a series of questions from my doctor after I complained I was freaking tired, falling asleep in the middle of my workouts, midday just falling slap out (not normal for me) and my waist long hair falling out in clumps... my doctor had a hunch and he was correct. I also take the bioTe testosterone pellets and a 60mg thyroid and I am back to feeling like a human again. But I don't know that I would have the loose skin surgery, even if I needed it. It's not mandatory for me. My husband was happy with me at my heaviest and supports me in my efforts now. I have a farm and truly I cannot afford downtime. But you should definitely feel proud of your weight-loss and everything you've accomplished. Through the pain, struggle and scars...you've managed to turn a test into a testimony and help many others along the way. I'm certainly one of those people. Your comment section is full of inspiring testimonies and accolades thrown your way. You definitely have done so much for so many. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. It has enlightened me a bunch and I am proud to be a LCL subscriber. ❤
ive also lost a significant amount of weight and still got some to go and so I am looking into reconstructive surgery, so yes please if u can blog it n let us see all ur process n maybe vlogs of everything. I feel like seeing what to expect will ease some of the anxiety. n tks for making these kind of videos w very important information.
I always found it so ironic in my weight loss group or rather it was a gastric sleeve group that there were so many women who didn't know if they wanted to do the surgery because they didn't want the hanging skin it never made sense to me some of them weighed 300 lb and I was like that's okay but a little hanging skin is what's holding you back I just didn't understand that thought process at all if I could have all the surgeries you did I would do it in a heartbeat I would not care about the scarring at all :-)
For your arms and legs, were they able to lift and tuck in your armpits and groin area or did they have to make a whole line down your leg and down your arm?
Yesss!! I really wanna see the scar revision journey! I have had an extended tummy tuck actually, and my scar is like almost circumferential, its across my whole lower abdomen and extends to my back, almost touching. I also had a hard time with healing well, and my scar is hypertrophic, wide dark and flat. I definitely wanna see the scar revision it would help me so much to know my options and how it could go! Thank you so much for your videos!!!
You are beautiful the way you are and yes pls vlog your journey on retouching your scars. I really enjoy all your videos on eating healthy they have been soo helpful. Thx ❤
Vlog the process please. I would be interested in seeing what is done and before and after. I enjoyed this video and hearing about the surgery process.
I would like to know If you were, say, 15 years older. Would you have surgery again to fix lose skin? Do you think age would play a part in Should you do it or not? Assuming, of course, you are in good health
Yes please I would like to know I was a liver donor for my dad have a chevron scar and it Keloid so it’s raised and it’s been 24 years .I also had a mini tummy tuck 13 years ago not so keloid but still raised across from one hip to another .I have saggy skin in my tummy now higher up from the liver donor scar .I have just lost 23 pounds so at a good weight but saggy skin and because I am 63 but I work out daily and it doesn’t go away !
I would love to see a follow up video and see your process for scar revision. I have a very large scar and would love to see the process and results! Thanks for your videos!
I was 284 lbs last year this year I weigh 165lbs and I thought I had so much loose skin but I realize I don’t have as much as I thought I lost the weight due to diabetes that was out of control I think I must have really good genes because I don’t even have many noticeable stretch marks That being said no one ever complimented me on my body ever until I lost the weight the thing people didn’t realize is that health wise I was in such a dangerous situation that my doctors were worried about organ failure especially my heart due to the extreme weight loss so fast less than 4 months so it affected me mentally to have people praising me for weight loss that was literally killing me now I am not very confident in my body even though I know I probably should but I didn’t put in the effort to lose the weight so it’s hard to be
You’re so freakin cool. Just honest effortless cool. Gorgeous and vibrant and confident. Your generosity and gratitude and optimism are literally the American dream. Keep spreading the hope and knowledge !

I lost 100 lbs, very active. Yes, loose skin...arms, legs, stomach...my neck!!! I'm almost 65, still very proud.😊

This is exactly my story too! Had an abdominoplastcy, won't wear shorts and have to have 3/4 sleeves
I wear shorts with pantyhose beneath 🙈 black or nude or lace
Agree ❤
But what can be dropped can be picked up again.
lol
I’m 70 and lost 40 lbs.. have about 10 more lbs to lose.. I do have loose skin but won’t get any surgery done.. thank God my husband loves me the way I look..

Wow!! That's amazing!! I need to lose 90lbs and it feels so impossible. 😭
@@Liz3th007 You can do it!!! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡ After you get the ball rolling your new habits become second nature!!!

You are still gorgeous no matter the scars. I’ve had a double mastectomy and also have scars.

Now at 52 I have learnt that for bad connective tissue you need lots of protein and collagen and that unfortunately my body is like that and I need to work harder nourishing it more than others. When I was younger I never ate protein, it was toast and noodles. At least you are at an age that you probably fix or reverse stuff
Ive lost anout 150 lbs 7 years ago. Clean eating. I have extra skin, but i can live with it. Yhe surgeries are hard, i'm proud of myself. For me its more how i feel inside. I am happy.
Thank you for you honesty. I’m losing weight and want to get at least a tummy tuck. I would love to see your progress through the next surgeries”touch ups”.
So glad you decided to speak on this, I've been looking for scarring treatments but not exactly because of weightloss. Would love to see a vlog of your treatment process, maybe even some FAQs answered from your doctor would be very helpful too! Go Mayra! ❤
You had surgery at 18 yrs.
You were really determined. At what age did you have ur daughter? Did the pregnancy affect you in any way?
Good luck can't wait to see the results. You look so gorgeous 🙌🙏🫶💝
I think it is genetics mostly! I have been heavy and slim, and had 3 babies in 4 and 1/2 years. Best shape ever.
So thoughtful of you to share something so personal.
Wow! You are incredibly brave to have done this at such a young age! It is so beautiful to see you happy and confident.
I was 16 years old when I got plastic surgery -Rhinoplasty! I paid for it all on my own. It cost $4500 CAD and $1500 CAD for the Anesthesia and hospital bed for one night. My father came with me at the consult to give consent. The plastic surgeon did a terrible job but I was still happy I got it done. I am 50 years old today and I am still healing from the scars left behind. Not the scars of the surgery, but the scars from being teased from having a big nose. Building back my self-confidence took a lifetime. You inspire me☺️
Were u a stripper/escort at 16? 🤔
I lost bout 85lbs and want to get this done after I lose the last 20-30lbs. I lift weights but if I get to my goal weight, and I'm not happy with how I look. I will do it.
Do think its possible for someone to lose 100lbs and not have loose skin?? Does it just depend on the person or is it something that happens to everyone???
I had Gastric Bypass back 2009 and lost 110 lbs. I did regain like 50 lbs over the years, but I did Keto./low carb and lost 40 of it so far. I still would like to lose like 20 more. I do think about all the lose skin, but I am not sure having skin removal is really worth it. I am 64 years old. and have had so many suegery on my stomach. 3 C Sections, 2 hysterectomies, Gallbladder. My belly isn't too too bad, but I have the batwings and the thunder thighs. I also have the turkey neck. I would love to follow your journey with you to see if I could do it.
I have a heart shaped scar under my left eye, due to skin cancer, I would love to have that not so prominent, all though nobody says anything I know its there and make up makes it look worse.
You are so brave to have all those surgeries, but you look amazing, well done you and great to have a lovely Grandma. Xx
I'm interested to travel the surgical journey as I'm very curious.
I admit, I'm a chicken about pain.
I've lost 35 pounds in my weight loss journey. I need to lose 40 more.
Yay! Loved this video. Actually been waiting for this detail info. I’ve dreamt about having a tummy tuck for over 20 years 😔 because I hate my abdominal pooch so much. But I don’t have an exercise routine and now at almost 62 I say to myself, ‘it’s too late now’ So I enjoy this info and am still fascinated. Yes! Please take us along your scar removal journey :)
I would just leave well enough alone...Thx 4 all the low-carb meal ideas!
I think fasting may help a little bit with loose skin, but fasting for maybe 24 hours or 48 hours at least once a week.
I really want a thigh lift and an arm lift. Would you be willing to share your scars? They may be in a place that you can't share, and I will understand that, but I do keloid, and then after a few years, they go flat, so I would be interested in knowing what the scars look like. Thanks for considering. Lisa
It was really generous for you to share this with us. I’m on my weight loss journey and have no idea how my skin is going to react. I’m scared but like you, I will definitely get surgery, especially on my boobs.
Speaking of boobs, yours look amazing and perky, are you one of those people who just naturally have nice breast and breast skin? I’m sure not.
Thank you very informative!
I hope I am not overstepping, but are you still engaged ? I don't see your beautiful engagement ring anymore.
Funny. I thought same thing. Where is your sweetie?
Myra you are just lovely inside and out. Thank you for your simplicity, honesty and transparency. We love you and your darling daughter. God bless your journey, channel and home. Thanks for taking us along with you.😘😘GG From Minnesota
I’d love to see your scar redo surgery. I’ve lost around 80 lbs and I’ve been thinking about getting a tummy tuck myself. Thank you for sharing ❤
Would love for you to share your journey with us! Such an inspiration!
Off topic here. Would you be able to tell me what paint color is in your bedroom? It kind of looks like "agreeable grey"? Your bedroom is beautiful, love that rug also! Thank you!
It is very interesting to hear about the scars. I had an appendectomy at age 9 and I have the same scar as you described for yourself. I am currently on my weight-loss journey and have lost 47 pounds so far. Still have 69 to go. I've done mine very slowly. I'm almost a year in on my weight-loss journey and so far, I do not have the loose skin like you've described. I'm working out and semi dieting. I still eat what I like or what agrees with me, really, because of my gluten intolerance. Which is fine. Hard but fine. Now, I have been using the compounded semaglutide because wegovy has been impossible to get. The wegovy was insurance approved but because the wait list was ridiculous long, my doctor found a compound pharmacy close by and I've been using them. I've struggled with the semaglutide but insurance approved a dietitian and that's been extremely helpful. I have not had the side effects like many experience with loose bowels or extreme weight-loss. I had at first constipation but that worked itself out (no pun intended 😅) and I have been normal. During all of this, because I'm in my mid 40s, I've dealt with low testosterone (yes ladies can have that and it's very drastic when it happens) and a low functioning thyroid. Through a series of questions from my doctor after I complained I was freaking tired, falling asleep in the middle of my workouts, midday just falling slap out (not normal for me) and my waist long hair falling out in clumps... my doctor had a hunch and he was correct. I also take the bioTe testosterone pellets and a 60mg thyroid and I am back to feeling like a human again. But I don't know that I would have the loose skin surgery, even if I needed it. It's not mandatory for me. My husband was happy with me at my heaviest and supports me in my efforts now. I have a farm and truly I cannot afford downtime. But you should definitely feel proud of your weight-loss and everything you've accomplished. Through the pain, struggle and scars...you've managed to turn a test into a testimony and help many others along the way. I'm certainly one of those people. Your comment section is full of inspiring testimonies and accolades thrown your way. You definitely have done so much for so many. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. It has enlightened me a bunch and I am proud to be a LCL subscriber. ❤
I’m so interested in the tummy tuck. I have an appointment in October for consultation
You didn’t have a breast augmentation.?
Have you had a breast augmentation?
awesome! I would would love to see a vlog on your surgical touch ups.
ive also lost a significant amount of weight and still got some to go and so I am looking into reconstructive surgery, so yes please if u can blog it n let us see all ur process n maybe vlogs of everything. I feel like seeing what to expect will ease some of the anxiety. n tks for making these kind of videos w very important information.
I always found it so ironic in my weight loss group or rather it was a gastric sleeve group that there were so many women who didn't know if they wanted to do the surgery because they didn't want the hanging skin it never made sense to me some of them weighed 300 lb and I was like that's okay but a little hanging skin is what's holding you back I just didn't understand that thought process at all if I could have all the surgeries you did I would do it in a heartbeat I would not care about the scarring at all :-)
For your arms and legs, were they able to lift and tuck in your armpits and groin area or did they have to make a whole line down your leg and down your arm?
Yesss!! I really wanna see the scar revision journey! I have had an extended tummy tuck actually, and my scar is like almost circumferential, its across my whole lower abdomen and extends to my back, almost touching. I also had a hard time with healing well, and my scar is hypertrophic, wide dark and flat. I definitely wanna see the scar revision it would help me so much to know my options and how it could go! Thank you so much for your videos!!!
Would love to see your scar surgery every step of the way! Very curious about the process. Thank you for sharing❤
You are beautiful the way you are and yes pls vlog your journey on retouching your scars. I really enjoy all your videos on eating healthy they have been soo helpful. Thx ❤
Vlog the process please. I would be interested in seeing what is done and before and after. I enjoyed this video and hearing about the surgery process.
I would like to know
If you were, say, 15 years older.
Would you have surgery again to fix lose skin?
Do you think age would play a part in
Should you do it or not?
Assuming, of course, you are in good health
Yeah, do it all. Thanks

Thank you for sharing! Yes pls share your journey.
I was 284 lbs last year this year I weigh 165lbs and I thought I had so much loose skin but I realize I don’t have as much as I thought I lost the weight due to diabetes that was out of control I think I must have really good genes because I don’t even have many noticeable stretch marks
That being said no one ever complimented me on my body ever until I lost the weight the thing people didn’t realize is that health wise I was in such a dangerous situation that my doctors were worried about organ failure especially my heart due to the extreme weight loss so fast less than 4 months so it affected me mentally to have people praising me for weight loss that was literally killing me now I am not very confident in my body even though I know I probably should but I didn’t put in the effort to lose the weight so it’s hard to be
You’re so freakin cool. Just honest effortless cool.
Gorgeous and vibrant and confident.
Your generosity and gratitude and optimism are literally the American dream.
Keep spreading the hope and knowledge !
