    Amazing job! What commitment!

    Before the knife, you might want to look into cavitation and/or kryolipolysis with radio frequency. I've only seen it online, but basically it'd cavitate (burst) or freeze the fat that remains in that excess skin while also using RF to boost collagen to tighten the skin. It'd take lots of sessions and time, but being so young, maybe time, continued deficit, and these noninvasive procedures could get results.

    Anyway, best of luck to you!

    Just saw your story in independent, just wanted to say it's funny how we have "Operation Transformation" but NHS turns down on such a important thing! I hope you will rise enough for op!

    You look awesome and your friends are right - it doesn't look as bad as you think. But I can understand after having lost all that, having the legacy of a reminder of those days and perhaps not looking the way you had hoped would make you want to correct it. If you have any doubts about it, perhaps give it some time and see if it gets a bit better or you come around to being used to it. Some people wear it like a badge of honour, others don't want the reminder - I get it! I promised myself when I get there and when I keep it off for 3+ years, that is when I will consider it. (Sadly, I gain and lose and gain and lose...). Either way, you look awesome and should be so proud of yourself - you're a hottie with or without the reminder!

    Wow! Fantastic achievement! Please post photos once you've had the surgery. I will need it once I reach my goal and am interested in your outcome. I've lost about 100 lb with 70lb to go
    not as fast as you but am also older (48) so I don't think the skin will recover well. Thanks for the inspiration☺

    From the bottom of my heart thank you for sharing this.

    You are truly an inspiration. I'm not scared anymore after seeing this.

    I wish you the best of luck in your surgery and the rest of your future as the man you have rebuilt.
