I've finally reached my target weight after 13 months! Down 115 pounds total. I started at 258 pounds and wore a size 26 (UK). Now I'm fitting into size 10-12s. I'm scheduled for skin removal surgery in September!
 
Unless it's medically necessary, I'd suggest holding off on skin removal. They say it can take up to 18 months for your skin to adapt after you've stopped losing weight. You might find it shrinks back more than you think.
 
Amazing job! I'm worried about excess skin. I can't afford a tummy tuck in the UK. I'm trying to find options for plastic surgery overseas now.
 
Huge congrats! A friend had a few skin removal procedures. Get lots of help lined up for when you get home from surgery. You'll need assistance with everything - cooking, cleaning, lifting - for at least a couple of weeks. Make sure you're surrounded by supportive people!
 
Woohoo! Congrats! I had skin removal back in June, and I'm super happy with the results. I'm sure you'll have a great experience too. Massive respect for your weight loss achievement!
 
Thank you! I was on the highest dose. I increased the dose every four weeks, starting from the lowest dose.
 
You look amazing, and I hope you feel just as great! You're a true inspiration to us all. E_Grace_H, would you mind sharing a rough estimate of the cost for skin removal surgery in the UK?
 
Truly incredible. Thank you so much for sharing E_Grace_H. I have a significant amount to lose as well, and seeing posts like yours gives me so much hope.
 
Thanks everyone for the kind words! Kelly1976, I'm going to a clinic in Poland for the skin removal. It's significantly cheaper there. I'm looking at around £6,000 for a full tummy tuck and a breast lift.
 
That's great, congratulations! I'm down about 20lbs since January. It's not always been smooth sailing, I've had a few plateaus, but I'm feeling much better.
