Well - can't help too much on this one.  I've lost over 100 and I'm a saggy baggy mess.  BUT I FEEL much better and am way healthier.

I carried all my weight in my stomach, butt and legs, too.  The stomach was taken care of pretty much with a panniculectomy but the butt and thighs are just sad.  I have no ass at all, nothing.  And my legs, well there is no way to describe them so I included a picture.  They kind of remind me of elephant legs and for some reason the skin is kind of twisted, like a pair of pantyhose that you put on crooked.  I dream of a lower body lift but unless a miracle comes through I will live with it.  I cannot wear short skirts or shorts and even with a bathing suit with a skirt it still looks bad but I can live with it.  My life wouldn't be a whole lot different with a perfect body and I look okay in clothes.  This picture was taken in April, 2011 so I have lost even more weight since then, about 20 lbs I would guess and it has just made it worse, more loose skin.  I still am glad that I lost weight.  The loose skin used to bother me  alot but now it just is what it is.  If I were  younger it might be more of a big deal but at the age I am now there are more important things in life then looking good in a short skirt.

I still have more to lose, but at this point with 103 lbs. down I still have fairly large thighs. My butt is flat but wide at this point. I have lost the most inches off of my hips overall. Well, my hips and boobs but since I didn't have much to lose in the boobs department that's just too depressing to think about! Anyway, the thighs are smaller than they were and really, really saggy. Kinda like LadyTazz's but bigger and touching. I wear shorts and skirts but I'm pretty short so what I wear tends to cover most of my thighs anyway.

But even being all baggy and saggy I'm happier like this than I was 100 lbs. ago so it's all good!

Thanks again for the input. I know I will have extra skin and I am worried about how I will feel about that.

Then again, I know that being 100 pounds over weight is no way to live.....gotta take the good with the bad.

I am ready to take this step
