Yeah, I'm 4' 11" so from start to finish I need to lose 50% of my body weight. It's like someone who is 300lbs dropping to 150. You are right, it is all relative.

Congrats on your success -hope I do as well.

Personally, I think about 80% of us bariatric patients need plastics. I've been to a lot of bariatric meetings and gatherings and have seen lots and lots of loose skin. Maybe you'll be in the top 10-20%, but if I were you I'd still be getting all my ducks in a row in case I decide to have it.

Yeah, I think you are right. It'll be at least a year before I do anything so research now will help me to know what to do and who is reputable to do it
