It has been quite some time since you posted. Having had WLS myself in 2016, I was wondering how you are doing and if you ever got the bike and started bike riding. I hope to hear about your success.

In answer to your question MelodiousMermaid I was riding up until May of 2019. at that time I had another excess skin removal surgery and had major complications which resulted in a 3 month recovery time. Since Aug I was on…

Off track big time. Came back here after being gone for more than a year. Had excess skin removal surgery with major complications in May of 2019. Since that time gained 33 of the 280 pounds I had lost. This quarantine is not helping the situation. I have got to get back on track and start heading back down. MFP says 1200…

Hi Roger and Val I am not sure if you both remember me or not as I have not been around for a long time. I am back as I want to get off these last 40 pounds.

Have lost over 280 pounds and have excess skin all the way down to my wrist. The surgeon took care of the approval for me and stated the weight of the excess skin on my arms causes arm movement difficulty and I get shooting pains from the nerves and bad skin infections. Here is a picture of my arms.
