4 years NO SURGERY PICS
That is great. I'm glad you were able to do that without surgery. You are on the RNY forum. I had to have surgery because of several other issues I have and losing weight was a primo benefit to having the surgery. Your pics look great. Doing it on your own is definitely an option. I tried many times and it didn't work for me. 25 years later, time to take a different course of action.
Only if you end up with as little extra skin as YOU have. You look GREAT, but I am sorry... not every one CAN look good without plastic surgery and I think it really discounts the feelings of EVERYONE who had/has SERIOUS excess skin issues for you -- someone without serious skin issues -- to claim otherwise.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
i am like you, I think if someone wants to have excess skin removed by plastic surgery, that it is okay, I am getting ready to have RNY and I have already considered plastic surgery to fix the excess skin problem if I have problems with excess skin, I am 25 and smoked for a while until recently and they aren't for sure if I will have a lot or a little of excess skin, therefore, I have been looking into plastic surgery just in case I need it after I reach my goal weight
On your original post. Go to EDIT (NOT QUICK EDIT) and it will pop up and the title should be right at the top where you can change it.
As for the whole loose skin thing- I am going to have to get PS myself because I already have skin issues, havent had surgery (RNY) yet though. Some people are lucky. I will NOT be one of those. I do toning and such 3 to 4 days a week and even though some of the looseness i have now has tightened I know the rest will not.
You are one of the lucky ones, and you do look good.
