A lot will depend on the extent of spare flesh. Mine has no effect in me adversely. In 'normal' clothes I can wear regular knickers with support ones for posh frocks. Without my spare flesh I would probably be a size 14 but I wear a 16. Being 100% happy where I am now, if I do 'flop' in my final 2 stone I can live with it.
But I've been lucky. To any one who sees me I look fine and the only person that sees me undressed is me. For my age and size my skin had pinged back ok. As a result I too ambit going to risk major surgery.
But I totally understand why others will want to. I've had a VERY easy ride post op but would still think long and hard before going down this route so I'm sure most people that want this extra extra surgery have also made the decision after a lot if weighing up the pros and cons.
I guess I'm saying that while it's not my path, I support anyone who feels they want it x

Hi lincs lass. I feel the same. I was 20.6 and now 11.11. My skin is ok but my tummy isn't great and I changed a t-shirt the other day for a longer top as the top of my arms were not great.
So I am going to maintain as I can't stand the thought of more surgery and I can tolerate my skin but if it got worse, I would have to do something. It will only get worse if I go lower. I am a 14 on top and a 16 bottom. I always wear big knickers to stop any wobbling about and people who didn't know me cannot tell I have had surgery. When I feel brave I will post some photos. X

my doc refused to do anything pre op. told me hospital would change my current meds to liquid (she should have done this but never mind) and told me hospital dietitian will decide what suppliments i need afterwards and then they will prescribe. i bought vitamins myself to take during milk diet as per my hospitals instructions

I was told to go on a good a-z supplement 3 months pre-op. I had taken one for years anyway, so levels were good pre op, and continue to be post op.
Not everyone is prescribed vits post op, my team tell us to buy a good quality supplement. Personally I would continue taking one, it wont do you any harm, and it could really help you in recovery.
