    I'm waiting until I'm down to the last 10lbs and then I'm thinking about it. You know you have to wear a girdle 24/7 for 2 months?! think about that.

    I believe the OP is talking about something like a sleeve gastrectomy rather than the removal of excess skin after weight loss.

    I have visited with a surgeon and started the lifestyle classes for the surgery, but I will most likely not get it for a variety of reasons. I don't want to discourage anyone on the boards, though, so if you want to chat about it and what I have discovered would be my main issues with it, feel free to pm me. Ultimately, the choice will be yours, but others opinions sometimes help me think of things in a different way.

    I'm not talking about a tummy tuck. I'm talking about gastric bypass or a sleeve.

    I had a gastric bypass (Roux-en-y) 13 months ago so can give you some info if you like.
    I am based in UK if that makes a difference to care etc.
