Hello everyone ! Nice to see a active group of people my own age getting their life together and focusing on themselves. I started my weight loss journey about 16 months ago ... i was 80 pounds heavier. I've been working hard with a trainer at the gym 5-6 days a week - plus have an entire set up in my "kids" living room. I am a mom of 4, but now the youngest is 16, and doesn't need me so much - except for to get from here to there. The rest are all self sufficient - so I figured lets really focus on getting healthy and continuing my weigh loss journey. I know when I finish - I'm going to have to decide whether or not to have skin surgery ... right now I'm thinking yes - because I know my "tricep" will never be seen unless the extra skin is gone - same with the belly flap! Has anyone here had skin surgery after a major weigh loss ? If you would share your experience, I would greatly appreciate it. I still have 100 more pounds to loose - so no time soon ... but need to gather the info !!

I had a tummy tuck back in 2015 and it was the best thing I've every done! There was no exercise that was going to get rid of my belly flap and I got so tired of seeing it!

Thanks for the info Mariaw ! I know I'll most likely get the tummy tuck eventually - after 4 kids and being overweight .... it's not going anywhere. Not really worried about the scar because I have 2 from C-sections ... but it'll be nice not to have the chaffing when working out !
