Worry wart

Hey friends, I'm having quite a time deciding if I want to have the VSG, I see so many people complaining about excess skin, and face lifts and I'm wondering if it's even worth it.  Trading one depressing problem for another.  I wasn't able to get the RNY because my insides aren't in the right place. (large and small intestines and my appendix was shifted )  They told me they couldn't do the surgery but i'm a candidate for the VSG.  They removed my appendix and repaired a hernia and I was glad they found it butttttt somewhat relieved that I didn't have the surgery.  I have lost some weight and looking at my past I know I haven't been able to keep it off for very long and usually end up gaining more.  I feel like why can't I do the right thing without surgery?  Really having a tough time with this I don't want to be fat forever and don't want to do it and still be depressed!

If this is about how you look...I have nothing to add.  If it's about your health, hangy skin never killed anyone...morbid obesity kills people every day.

 As long as my health and mobility improves, I don't care about hangy skin.

This is super cute!

My size 8 ass w sagging skin looks WAAAAY better than my 24 self w tight stretched skin. Not to mention how amazingly healthy I am compared. I can run with my kids. Work, work out, do the house work and still have energy to play. Its amazing. I would not say my saggy skin is depressing. Its just me.

Keep researching the surgeries--it sounds like you aren't really sure you want one.

Yes, and I whine because the weight loss stopped at 87 pounds and I really need to lose more.
BUT.
I am no longer a diabetic.
I no longer have high blood pressure.
I am off most of my meds.
I am more mobile and active.
Took up kayaking, bike riding, walking in 5ks where I would have been stuck on the La Z Boy instead.
So, while I am not where I want to be, I am much healthier and happier and the hell with my saggy gut. I can deal with the yeast infections if I take a little care.

Thank you all soo very much and I appreciate all of the feedback.  I have saggy skin now and am unhealthy so the good outweighs the saggy skin!
