I have never posted a before picture and never will. I put them in the shredder years ago. I did not like how I looked and had no desire to share those pictures with anyone.

I understand your hesitancy but don't be afraid. This site is for people who have been in the same place as you. I haven't posted my photo but I am working on getting one I can as I have lost a lot and feel like seeing the difference could help others who are wanting to have surgery.

I agree. I spent more than that adding a three-season porch to my house. I enjoy my new & improved body as much (if not more than!) my porch!

I also lost over 200 lbs. I've since had my excess skin removed because it was driving me crazy, but I lived with it for a couple of years. I just figured out how to dress to take advantage of the "good" parts and hide the "not-so-good" parts.

I carried my weight high - I was apple-shaped. My hips, butt, and thighs were fine, but I was built like a linebacker with a big gut. So I had tons of excess abdominal skin, very droopy boobs, and moderate batwing arms. So I'd wear long-ish, slightly oversized tops with 3/4 length (or longer) sleeves and "tummy control" leggings, mostly (although something like Spanx would work as well for pulling in the gut rolls). Also, I sometimes wore things like red (or other vibrant color) pants in hopes of drawing people's eyes away from my "problem' areas. I'm not really into fancy hair styles and make-up, but something like that might draw people's attention away from "problem" areas as well. Anyway, here I am BEFORE I had all the skin removed. As you can see, it's fairly well hidden by just dressing strategically:

I'm transgender women who had weight loss surgery 02/14/2018 and lost about 200pounds now I'm left with my excess skin So my question is what are some things I can do hide excess skin so I can feel more feminine.
