[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been obese my entire life and I’m 30. I think I will finally be able to lose the weight (thanks Ozempic) and i’m really dreading how it’s going to age me to get to a normal weight. Totally worth it of course, but I legit look 25 thanks to my fat face (from the shoulders up of course….my body is more like 65 tbh). I fully expect to have early onset turkey waddle that will need addressing with a deep plane neck lift or maybe even face lift sooner rather than later in addition to the body lift.

I don’t think this applies to people who haven’t been significantly overweight for a long time like me. Anyone I’ve known who was a bit chubby and lost 20 pounds always looks better than before IMO. [/quote]

You’re still young, you’ll look good. Definitely incorporate strength training, light on the cardio, you won’t need it. The strength training helps with the extra skin.   I’m the poster from earlier that lost 120lbs. I lost it on a combination of Wegovy, Keto and IF. These semaglutides work, so stick with it. Don’t get discouraged if it doesn’t immediately seem to work, it will. [/quote]

I don’t know…I suspect I might have some kind of connective tissue disorder, or maybe hormonal imbalance from PCOS but there’s just no chance for my stomach to ever look normal. And I was never extremely obese, topped out at a BMI of 41. I’ve never seen someone with layers upon layers of stretch marks like I do from my pubic bone up to under my breasts. I’m still obese (BMI 33 now) and it’s totally crepey and saggy with a significant apron, which I’ve had ever since I can remember. My inner thighs, too, have this sheet of hanging fat. I know lots of people my age seem to bounce back fairly well even with 100 pound weight losses but I don’t think I can.[/quote]

Well….ok…that sounds similar to my situation at 52. I’ve got a significant apron and that’s not going anywhere. That will have to be surgically removed. So if you have that, then, yeah, a tummy tuck is in your future. I also have the thigh issue. But I can live with that.

So at 30, just lose the weight with the meds, and exercise as much as you can. It really does help. If you have health insurance, it will pay for panniculectomy (not as good as a TT, but looks good).   I would set a goal for your weight loss and at least get a consult with a plastic surgeon. Good Luck. But on Ozempic, you won’t need it.[/quote]
