    Hey Sarah, I understand you are going through alot with the excess skin, but you do look wonderful and should be very proud of what you have accomplished. Don’t be so down on yourself for the excess skin issues. In time you have them resolved. Stay positive and it will all work itself out in the end!!!

    Sarah, im so happy that your making this video. I know how difficult it is because I had the same issues and its what lead me to have plastic surgery. Its a hard subject to talk about and I just admire your courage to do it. I wanna post my video on here on showing excess skin too if u dont mind.

    prt 1… aww sarah.. I just made a video about excess skin but haven’t posted. right now I am @167 and the skin on my belly is driving me nuts. I have been using all kinds of creams and gels and whatsits to “help” but the reality is I am a mum of 4. my belly is what it is.

  • BellasVita2009 posted: 09 Mar at 2:43 pm

    prt 2…. I get sad when I look at it but then I think you know when it was filled with fat I couldnt breathe, I couldnt run, I couldn’t live. I will post my vid showing off my belly belly :P Hopefully it will make you feel a little better about yours hunny. We all get this after such a big loss.

    Thank you for talking about this subject because I am on the brink myself. I have A LOT of loose skin,so I can definitely understand. I “try” to laugh at it to keep myself from crying about it ( if that makes sense).

  • crosspecans posted: 09 Mar at 2:55 pm

    ive said this a bazillion times i think..and im sorry if youve heard it before but. parkland dallas hospital has said they will do plastic surgery on excess skin if you are out one year an stable…free…for th skin for their burn unit. check into it.

    Sarah,
    Your honesty cuts though me.
    Thank you for sharing these deep feelings. You are human, and vulnerable and fragile too. It is OK to feel this way HOWEVER you must know that true love sees though the cover and into the heart.
    I think you must pursue Plastic Surgery to lighten your load and free your thoughts for the good things in life you deserve!
    I am afraid of the pain from the surgery too
    but we are all here to help each other though.

    you are a young woman your whole life is ahead of you- go for the reconstruction– I plan to. I am afraid if I don’t have the excess removed it will be so easy to slide back into the old body– even if I think I won’t.

  • moviestartaal posted: 09 Mar at 4:59 pm

    187lbs in one year!!! AWESOME!!! Yeah and your so right i dont think enough ppl make videos about the extra skin. you are so brave to do this video.

  • clbroadway posted: 09 Mar at 6:20 pm

    Sarah, post this video as a video response to my skin video. We are trying to create a ‘skin video network’. There are several already posted. I’ll also post mine as a response here.

  • saphre1964 posted: 10 Mar at 12:08 am

    sarah, thank you for making this video..i’ve lost 176lbs and have approx 49 more to go and i have tons of excess skin already, and i KNOW it’s going to be even worse with that last 50…i swim 4 times a week and you should see my skin moving around my body, yes, it floats up…grrrr
    i LOVE your raw honesty!!

    Wow! 187 lbs gone..Amazing. Congratulations!!This is sooooo common among WLS patients. You’ve done all the hard work to get the weight off and then realize, I’ve got an excess skin issue. Please know these feelings are completely normal..You are not alone! Don’t worry, new relationships will come and they will love you for you. Not how tight your skin is. I know that may be hard to imagine now, but it’s true. Thank you for being soo raw and candid w/ us.

  • BellasVita2009 posted: 10 Mar at 10:30 am

    Hey Sarah.. I posted the response as you requested. You seriously are beautiful and I hope there are some things you can start doing to feel more confident in yourself and your body. I am telling ya.. get into those lingerie stores and find things that make you feel good and no they don’t have to be blatant or gaudy .. Things that feel nice and compliment your body. omg did you see Darcy’s undies.. so friggin cute man! I just wanted to rip them off her.. wait that didn’t sound right :P

    Hey Sarah:

    Basically, I finally came to terms with my loose skin about a month ago! (That’s 2-1/4 years post-op, and 170 pounds later.) My shrinkles are a part of me; they are a road map of where I was and how far I’ve come. My darling hubby (MexiKEN) said the sweetest thing when I mentioned to him that I had finally accepted my extra skin. He said, “Once you learn to love the inside, everything else is easy. I’ve always loved you inside and out. I’m glad you finally agree with me.”
