Why do some RNYers look so....sickly? Facial changes after massive weight loss (PICS!)

He's an extremely devout Christian. The kind the religious bigots in the MSM like to lampoon.

The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking....... If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.

So the apple not only fell outta the tree, it rolled down hill, gathered momentum, and turned into a giant goofball, hmm?

Let's just say that my rebellion consisted (consists?) mainly of taking my walk with the Lord at a notch or two lower on the intensity scale. I'm pretty big on most of the Judeo-Christian values though. Except for that turning the other cheek thing. I struggle with that.

Luckily for you, you can be covered under the "an eye for an eye" codecil.

When you and the Lord go for your walks, do you wear the bikini...or do you wear a more modest maillot?

Trenchcoat.

And gogo boots.

I have no idea what a maillot is. Although I've heard that Jersey is famous for its mullets. Same thing?

Only Canadians have mullets, these days.

You! Ya know, a guy can lose a couple of pounds, and strap on a bikini-- yet never transcend his skunk-anus roots.

My face is doing ok wrinkly wise but maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan do I look washed out. Not pale - its genetically impossible for me to be pale, but goddamn where's the cheekbones? Ima have to get someone to teach me to apply blush I guess. Cept on my huge honking nose which is always crack***** red (allergies? flipside of the genetic coin? i dunno). A ****head little nail tech I had  touching up my fingernails one day said "You look like someone punch you right in face!"

Funny... it looked like he didn't get a tip either...

I'm THRILLED to see this post. I am just beginning to look into plastics, but before I get into the big stuff, this THING under my chin is really annoying me, I'm afraid I might be mistaken for a turkey with Thansgiving so close .
But, there may be hope. On a recent visit with my PCP,I got to talking with another doctor there on the way out when he commented on my weight loss. He told me about smart lipo and I'm looking into it now. It is a less invasive lipo done with a laser and from what hes told me and I've looked up online, it will help tighten the skin up. I was scheduled for a consult last week but had to cancel. With the holidays coming up I couldnt stand the idea of spending $2-3,000 on myself. But, after the beginning of the year, I'm going to look more into it and start looking into the bigger plastics as well.

I love your boldness!. I'm going into my fourth month post op. I've already started to see changes in my face. i've lost 90something lbs since my pre op visit. the thing that's driving me crazy the most right now is the MASSIVE amount of extra skin in the breasts. and although my upper arms hung before I SWEAR they hang even more now.

I Had a pretty good self esteem day. I have days where I get down on myself. and I have days where I feel good aobut myself. Today was a good day. tomorrow who knows. But everyday I feel so blessed to have come through this surgery well! And to have lost even this much weight although i'm nowhere NEAR done.

on come on Jupiter... I've seen your other pictures and you look fabulous.  (Maybe because in the other pictures you were smiling and the ones you posted above... the 2008 pic you look like you're posing for a mug shot :P  )

does the whole preparation-H beauty queen trick work  on the loose skin?
