Hi, I'm new to the group. Had Gastric Bypass in April 2025. Starting weight was 284. I am now 152. No regrets whatsoever. I had a very rough go of it for the first 6-7 weeks. Couldn't tolerate enough liquids. I ended up in the emergency room twice with severe dehydration. After that, everything has been going very well. I am now on the fence about having my excess loose skin removed. I am 54 years old, and I don't think I should really be worrying about vanity because I feel so awesome physically, but I can't seem to get it out of my head. Deal with sagging ugly skin, or have super obvious large scars and have to deal with horrible pain and suffering with the removal process?
