    You are so brave to show your photos and thank you for being so honest. I think it makes us all realise that this is a long hard road and some things we just cannot change. You are beautiful inside and out, and never forget that. I am glad you have been able to remove some of the skin, and make yourself feel more comfortable. I pray that when you decide to fall pregnant that you find you bounce back with very few problems.

    My husband knows exactly what you are going through! He had GB surgery back in 2003. His weight the day of surgery was 442lbs and his lowest was 194lbs. Because he did not workout and try to tone while he was losing weight he has the excess skin also. He will be getting a tummy tuck next year. Our insurance will not cover it even though he has medical issues that would be non exsistant if he had it removed.

    BTW... You look amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing your story and inspiring us all ;)

    I'm at work so the pics aren't coming through so part of me responding is bumping this. I've lost almost 270 pounds from my heaviest 10 years ago. I've got another 100 to 140 pounds to go. I've already got a ton of loose skin and am freaking out about getting it fixed and I've got 20 years on you. I'm so glad you had the cahones to post this.
