Answering Your Questions, Part 2! | Ellko

[@heylouzers]

Loose skin is not graphic, you are brave.

[@aidarodriguez6721]

Loose skin is not graphic, it's about how you feel sharing it with us. So glad you're back!

[@lunajames5084]

It makes me feel queasy that people are congratulating and pining after her weight loss, because when she was plus size and began losing weight from her diet change she said that her goal was not weight loss and that she loved her body. Her body has always been and will always be beautiful, but I feel that people are only seeing her new body as positive without considering the circumstances of pain and misery associated. Being thin does not always equal to being happy. It can be associated with sadness or sickness, please remember that she said that she does not recommend losing weight the way she did. To Ellko: I am so happy you are back, and I wish you strength as you continue on your journey

[@tennesseetitan09]

I have suffered from OCD, anxiety, and depression my whole life. Faith, despite all odds, is the key to peace. And, above all, know that YOU are worth fighting for. Keep fighting the good fight!!!

[@yoyoyoitsmichelle8712]

YOU LOOK SO GOOOOOODDDDD OMLLL

[@jennifersteene583]

RIGHT. IM SO JELLY

[@piddlydiddly]

I was also told if I lost enough weight my PCOS would 'go away' and it didn't. We were on a trying to conceive journey (that totalled 4 years+) and it really frustrated me that they told me to lose weight, because i wasn't an unhealthy weight, and it took me so long to lose it, and when I finally did, it changed nothing anyway. We had to have fertility treatment which was successful. I was also told getting pregnant would help PCOS, which it didn't. I have crohnes disease and also my husband has BPD, so I can relate to you a lot in all of the things :) So glad you're back and feeling OK. I'm sending so much love to you. Hope the move goes as easy and stress free as poss. XXX

[@mindz8282]

I also was told at a " younger " age that if I lost weight I would no longer have PCOS , I called the doctors BS right there because it was the fact that I had PCOS that cause the sudden weight gain. I developed it at a low weight. The truth of the matter is to date they don't know entirely what causes it nor how to get rid of it. I've had many issues and struggles with it for the majority of my life. Keep your head up ladies!

[@TheLifeofaHomemaker]

Also- I lost 100lbs after having my first kids and I totally completely understand the no longer recognizing myself part. 3 years later, I'm still at the "is that really what I look like? What size do I actually wear? Situation. It's bizarre. And unless you've experienced it, it's almost impossible to explain. 💗 hang in there.

[@HeatherH80207]

Ellie, your transparency is inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing your story. 🌹

[@beccad2023]

I've missed you so much! KZbin for me hasn't been the same without you. I love you so much and I as well as the rest of your subscribers are always, always here for you.

[@emmythepixi]

I don't think showing your loose skin is in any way graphic. Certainly not more graphic than any other person on the internet showing any amount of their skin, loose or otherwise. It's just your body, and I think you should do what YOU are comfortable with. But seriously, it's just skin. You do, you, El. Love you! I'm so glad you're back!

[@kaitdid1992]

I love that you don't talk about something like you know it when you feel you don't have enough knowledge to do so.

[@iiMaJellYb3aN]

I wanna see the lose skin, it's not graphic at all

[@steffrodriguez91]

I agree, I think it would be beneficial, for a lot of us who deal with some of the same problems.

[@chiribitica]

+steffrodriguez91 I agree....

[@bmajortriadgmail9926]

You could consider being a yoga teacher and beauty blogger at the same time on KZbin! You have such a way with connecting with people and explaining "life concepts" to other people. Thank you for being so genuine with us. You have so many good qualities, and there are so many good things in store for you

[@heatherfultz2461]

You are amazing Ellie. I've truly missed you and your inspiring videos!

[@brittneymortlock6892]

Absolutely show the extra skin as long as you are comfortable with it. I am sure there are tons of people that struggle with it too and would love to see how your dealing with it. One thing I really love about you is how real you are. Your honest and raw and real and talk about not fun stuff sometimes and that's real life. So thank you!

[@mag0806]

Ellie, I just wanted to reach out to you because I too have been dealing with the ovarian cysts etc and might have some helpful information (maybe not haha). Before you read, be prepared for some TMI! They believed I had PCOS as well, but after finally meeting with an endocrinologist, he concluded after an ultrasound that because my cysts do not form a "pearl necklace" shape in the uterus and instead cluster, it is most likely NOT PCOS. Might be something to look into further?I don't want to scare you, but ovarian contortion is EXTREMELY dangerous. Do not ignore it! Most recently I had a hemmoragic cyst (where it bleeds in on itself) and was at risk for this due to the massive size of the cysts. If this does actually happen (twisting) you are at risk for losing your ovaries all together, needing surgery, etc. Just wanted to make sure you are aware of the severity of that term, as I have found that many times ER doctors and nurses need the space and are quick to get you out of there without a whole lot of explanation (no offense). Also, after bloodwork, they have found that I may have low progesterone--which is the hormone that prepares the uterus for a child. This means I may have too much estrogen and therefore could be the root cause of my cysts. Finally, I just want you to know you are not alone. Cysts suck! They are excruciating and definitely impact daily life. I hope you are able to find some answers. I can tell you that after finding my endocrinologist, I feel much better about where I stand and how I understand my own body. May be worth looking into!

[@hayleywright6585]

Having watched the three videos that you have posted over the last 2 days - just wanted to say, i dont know you, and you dont know me, but you have my support. your story touches my heart and the fact that you have coped and gotten through it all is amazing. you are awesome and you can get there. i believe in you. hugs for you

[@Javawomen1]

I so admire you, you are going through so many of the same things I have fought my whole life. I am 69 years old, I have crawled out of that black hole time and again. I think I am in a better place now, but I still struggle with weight issues. I will continue to watch your channel, you are so amazing.

[@MarinaTheMama]

We missed you! Thank you for being open about seeking help when you needed it. I wish I would have had a role model like you when I was a teenager.

[@erinlaura8939]

Loose skin is not graphic! I think it will help us other ladies with it. I have a pretty significant amount loose skin just from loosing weight after my child. Thank you for being so honest with weight loss, it's so hard to do it the right way honestly, I think most don't do it the right way. I'm so sorry you have so many health problems, I get that completely' I had ulcerative colitis, which I ended up loosing my colon, and I now have an ileostomy. I also have arthritis and psoriasis which I hate. My son was born early because of my health, and I only became plus size myself because of my health issues. Thank you for still continuing making videos, you are amazing and people are stupid to judge you, you are beautiful and healthy, and the weight is not something that should never matter. ❤️

[@Marissa_Rae]

I have truly missed your videos! I don't feel like I'm watching someone just to watch them. I feel like I'm sitting down with a good friend who I haven't seen in a long time. Someone who just gets me and whom I can relate to in so many ways. I've lost myself so many times and you explain it beautifully! It's hard to explain depression and anxiety to people because it's so personal and unique and unless someone has experienced it themself then it's hard to empathize and understand ANY part of it. ❤❤ I can't wait to see more of your videos and watch you grow as the Phoenix you are 😀 On another note: Yes I'd love to see the loose skin video. I've lost 50+ lbs and have a ways to go but I know loose skin is currently and will be a struggle. I'm excited for any future videos as well!

[@cocolcito]

I am 14 and I can assure you that you are 100% one of the best role models any girl can have. I believe that a role model shouldn't be someone who has a perfect life and who just has everything. A role model (to me) should be someone that has gone through a situation but got through it and came back strong. It should be someone that can show girls and anyone really "you may be going throug this but if you fight you will make it through but you can't give up." So thank you for being an amazing role model and for deciding you were ready enough to come back.

[@weirdoizmyname]

We're here for you Ellko

[@redde3642]

Ellie ~ I am so happy to see that you are doing better!! I am disabled & look forward to watching you as your videos always brings a smile to my face. You are an inspiration & I am wishing you the very best!!!

Oh honey, I'm glad you're feeling better. I've been at a bad place earlier this year and thanks to my PhD group we've been pulling each other off holes and we've been patching each other up, and this has been helping. I'm glad you're alright.

[@crystalblondeel4383]

You will ALWAYS have my support and my friendship, in whatever why I can on the net. Sending you hugs. And thank you for showing how strong you have been, and letting us know it OK to ask for HELP. that's priceless Ellko, you most likely just saved someone's life, because of you opening up and telling us it's ok to ask for help. Love you truly.

[@Abby0510]

The fact that you admit your lack of knowledge on things and don't want to give advice until you're educated is so admirable! You're an amazing person and role model and I'm so glad you're back

[@EarsToTheSpeaker]

I know exactly how you feel about seeing yourself at you higher weight. I had medically necessary weight loss surgery 4 and a half years ago and I still see myself at my largest. Learning to love myself is what I still struggle with as well. Following your journey is helping my go through mine.

[@enbyautie]

for as long as i can remember, i've had depression and anxiety. im currently 16. im really certain that i have BPD and ive reached out about it (which is super scary for me), but the idea was immediately rejected and i was ridiculed for it. keeping this in mind, i wasnt diagnosed with depression and anxiety until i turned 15 (stigmas are held tightly in my home) and that was only because i got extremely physically sick due to lack of treatment for my mental health. i have IBS and it still rules over my life just like the mental illnesses do. im alone in my home and cant ask for help because my family refuses to believe anything other than stigmas. so, to say your videos and your story has helped me would be an understatement. im currently going through the most difficult time of my life (mentally and physically as well as just problems). im in the worst episode of depression i've ever had. so thank you for coming back and sharing your story. thank you for being here after everything.

[@hailey3732]

Gurl we is family! Loose skin isn't graphic! You do you!! :)

[@Amy19959]

my respect and love for you just doubled over the fact that you acknowledged that the way you lost weight wasn't very healthy and that you refused to give "tips" or recommend it to anyone. People always seem to have the mindset that any weight loss is a good thing and sometimes it's just not. I have BPD too and have lost 35 Ibs (which has resulted in me being practically underweight) in the last few years because my anxiety kills my appetite and makes eating nearly impossible sometimes. Definitely not some "healthy lifestyle change" or a "tip" I would recommend to anyone ;) anyway, thanks for being awesome and defying the "weight loss is always good no matter how it's done" mindset ♡♡

[@naomiyork2866]

Ellie, I'm glad you're doing well. Keep growing and keep finding yourself. You are amazing. I am sad that you're moving out of your apartment because I know you loved it so much and were so stoked about it. Please keep us posted, love!

[@RaddyGirl2012]

Don't ever feel ashamed for having suicide ideation. I suffer from it too. Depression and Anxiety are hard. You're taking care of yourself the way that you know how to. If you want to give back to the mental health community, find your local chapter of American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. It's helped me out a lot. I almost cried when I heard you suffered from those thoughts because I know you're not alone. Thank you for being so open about your mental health; you're helping end the stigma.

[@kelseyvinson6084]

you are a brave woman! I admire how much strength you have to be as open with us as you are! you are very inspiring and very wonderful! you are my favorite KZbinr of all time! we all support you, and hope your journey is very successful! I hope you get to wherever ya going in your life!! I love you ellko!! I'm so so glad to see you posting!!

[@rohill1335]

I've been trying to lose weight and I know that I will have a lot of loose skin because I need to lose roughly half my body weight (like, seriously. I promise that's not an unhealthy truth) so I would love whatever you feel comfortable showing or not showing, talking about not talking about, I would be super grateful for whatever you have to share.

[@pnwtob8370]

i am so glad that you are back! nothing wrong with going through a journey and finding yourself again. im glad you asked for help so you could be here today. stay strong and know we are all here for you! you are still just as beautiful a you were a year ago when i started watching your channel and i cant wait to see your new content!

[@citrine376]

Your 'other' tattoo and the meaning behind it is absolutely beautiful and it really resonates with me since I'm aromantic and so the husband kids and picket fence is not for me either. Here's to living our lives with the goal of making ourselves happy no matter what others think!

[@alissadalton4229]

So happy you are back. You are gorgeous. Can't wait to watch more Vlogs.

[@shaniaantonis9938]

I think you should definitely make a video about loose skin. It's just the human body, it's ridiculous that people make a big deal about things like this that are completely normal. I personally don't see it being graphic as long as you aren't completely naked. I'm so proud of you that you got yourself into a place where you are able to share your body issues with the people that love and care about you. Your advice and outlook on life is always encouraging ☺️ I love you so much, I'm so happy that I found you on KZbin awhile ago. Makes me so happy that you are back ❣

[@heathergoulding1494]

Wow , I am in tears , you truly are amazing , your videos will help so many people , you are such a gorgeous person , I am so glad ur back also glad ur working through your issue and make ur life better for u xx 💕💕

[@ashyjedi]

You're such a beautiful person with a beautiful soul. There's a simple quote I saw floating around the internet that goes "Times are tough, but I am tougher. I'll be fine." Through my lows and difficult times this past year it's helped me through and in a way has helped me see the bigger picture that I am tough. I'm strong person. I've been through ups and downs, but I've overcome all of those in the past and I can again. I hope that simple quote can help you (if only a little) as well. So glad you're back. I know we're all stoked for you and for everything that's to come. Much love

[@sarahfaye6506]

I'm going through my own journey right now after a huge change and a difficult time similar to what happened with you so I can really relate, it's so nice seeing that you're pulling through and have come out the other side feeling better and stronger, it's nice to know I'm not alone and someone else is going through similar/ has been through similar things, so thank you for sharing some of your experiences. It must be hard talking about everything so I'm proud of you

[@susanwilken6603]

Thank you for sharing your journey. I know this must be hard to do with a lot of strangers but your experience helps others who feel isolated and alone. Your giving and sweet personality are so refreshing in this judgmental world and with the loss of civilized conversation, being 'other' is so brave. I have nothing but love and respec for you. Susan

[@kiwijinx3709]

I think you're so fucking brave that you are doing these videos! 👍 it's so amazing that you wanna open up to us, and I'm absolutely sure that you are going to feel better and have a wonderful life! I really like your new tattoo as well, its nice to know that not everyone have to follow the flow (and that those of us that doesn't, isn't crazy/wrong) 👍 so good to see you! lots of hugs from a fan in Denmark 💚

[@ramasa1581]

We understand we love you and we will always be here for you❤️

[@abigailsanders3674]

I'm continuing to pray for you that you find your way in this crazy world! You are such an inspiration!

[@shelzgaskin]

So happy that you are back and working on yourself and becoming a better stronger you. You are so inspiring and your strength is massive to have gone through all of this! xx

[@daniellejune319]

You are beautiful and so inspiring! I'm excited for videos to come! I would love to see your progress on your body image and would like for you to share your journey! Also, I love your videos and I'm so excited that you are back!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@BobbiAnneWilson]

You are such a strong, brave, inspiring woman. Thank you for being you, Ellie. So glad you're back

[@mandyjones9618]

Love you Ellie. You're so awesome! I've just recently turned 25 and it seems like my depression and anxiety has been getting worst but by you openly talking about what you have been going through makes my feel like I'm not alone. You're truly a blessing.

[@LisetteTorresphotos]

Definitely missed your smirk! I'm so happy to see you pop up in my subscriptions again. I wish you so much love, light and laughter on your new journey. I will be rooting for you all the way!

[@kayladegraaf1894]

As someone who is feeling like they lost themselves recently. your video is inspiring. You've helped me create a concrete reality that I am NOT alone. You being so open and willing to share that deep and struggling place in your life is uplifting to me, as it makes me feel that maybe I can find a place to share myself. Thank you for being your beautiful self. Know that I am here for you, because together we will always stand tall. Lots of love and good vibes

[@tiffinoshawa]

Wow Ellie! I missed that you had PCOS. (heeey cyster! ) Thank you for being so open and sharing. Very thankful that you're back. Get that heart Chakra some extra love and remember that we've got you.

[@leahc8359]

Missed you like a ton. Have been moving also and literally just sat down, got the wifi hooked up, and went to your channel so I'm really super stoked you're back.

[@FocusedK9]

You are an amazing and inspirational woman! I am so happy to see you back and even happier to hear about your journey back. I relate to so much of the stuff you have talked about going through...I found myself going "yesssssssss, girl, yes!" a lot while watching this video. You worded it so well! Captured my thoughts and feelings perfectly. The "other" tattoo and meaning is beautiful. So excited to be in the ellkofam. Sending hugs and best wishes! Can't wait for more :)

[@kyra2528]

Damn haven't seen her videos in my feed in like. Forever. You look amazing!

[@SpiciestFroggy]

I love you Ellie, as a fellow borderline I can totally understand and I'm 100% here for you and rooting you on xoxo ❤️

[@jamieesalcido2252]

I will pray for your recovery and mental well being 💜💜🙏🏼 please stay safe !

[@suzannecollins100]

Just want to share with you my story for the 11th minute of the video: at age 18 I started to date a guy that was perfect and we decided we wanted to get married. I wanted to follow after my mother's steps, getting married at 25, have kids at 27 etc etc, a year before the wedding I called it off. I started to date another guy within the 4th month after I called off the wedding and with this guy I could see that my life, as I was seeing it before was not perfect. In this new relationship I have learnt things about myself that I never knew. I have started hobbies that within the other relationship where just dreams. This relationship ended too but I will ever be so grateful to this guy as he helped me to look at life differently and start to find my true self. After this I spent a year alone and I'm not going to lie to you, but I was depressed big time. Not going out, not socializing, just burried my self in work, popcorn and movies. During this time alone I continued to learn things about myself because I felt like other people cannot understand what I'm going through so I had to fight this on my own. At 30 I had a breakdown on my birthday because it's not what I had previously planned for myself (as sometimes I still live in the past) Now I'm 31, have a boyfriend of 3+ years, looking to get married in maybe 2 years time BUT now I feel ready....ready to start a new chapter and take the next step...now I feel ready because I know myself...now I feel ready because I know I don't waste my time on little things that are meaningless. I would love to learn more about chakra healing as something that helped me to find myself was yoga, reading a lot of mindfulness books, reading The Alchemist and Buddha's story. Mind you I'm not a buddhist but I think that learning how to breath and how to calm my brain helps me a lot throughout my days. During these 4 months I have looked for you too and I'm happy you're back and that you are ready to face the world again. Your family (us the viewers) will give you all the support you need to get back on your feet. Chin up girl! :) x

[@CherryKisses10]

You are so so inspirational, I love that you can be so open with us, I honestly felt tearful through parts, I'm so glad you feel so supported by us, we aren't going anywhere so keep relying on us 😊

[@katelynball2824]

I love you so much! You are so inspiring and I 100% support you and just want to give you a hug! Thank you so much for being who you are and being such a good role model! I am so glad you are back! I hope the best for you and that you become less stressed and everything works out great! Again I love you and thank you. 😊💕

[@bravomah]

Hello Ellko, I just wanted to come by and send some love from Brazil! You are a beautiful person, inside and out. You are really brave for sharing all of your experiences, the good and the bad ones! Please, keep posting videos, you are very inspiring! xx

[@brittneyrichardson1579]

Love you super Happy that you are back!

[@veronicapalacios3495]

Thank you for being so open about this. I went through a very similar journey a few years ago and I've never had the courage to tell my close friends and family what actually happen. It's weirdly comforting that I'm not the only one. I only wish I would have been brave enough to ask for help because it's been years and I'm just coming around to asking for help and your last few videos have really inspired me. THANK YOU

[@bamboo_zled]

When you were talking about how you ran away and coped with what was happening I saw myself in a lot of it but you've been a bit stronger than me. I was never able to ask for help with my depression. For me it actually took me having an anxiety attack in front of my dad to get the help that I'd been wanting to ask for for a really long time. I think you're a really brave and positive person and you're one of the few people that I truly look up to. Stay strong Ellko ❤❤

[@dizzyowl76]

I am sooo happy you came back and I am grateful for any video you can make. You getting your life back and feeling well is more important than any of us (as you can see we didn't leave you). I would be happy to just watch beauty videos, tutorials and hauls, you can get deeper when you are ready. Good luck with your move.

[@pamelasalas4376]

just love it! I have learned a lot from you and you are someone that I can see as an example! i feel identified with some of your situations in life and eventhough i have reached the lowest point I have not being able to make a changes in my life, i know what i have to do but i dont have the stregth to start, so please never stop doing what you do because i totally works for people like us! YOU ROCK! greetings from Costa Rica :) (sorry about my english)

[@apwbanana96]

Love everything you say so much. You are such an inspiring soul! Thank you so much for including us in your life and showing us how strong you are. ❤️

[@rylansharkey734]

literally listening to you rant and talk about life makes me feel so relaxed!😂😂🙂

[@annasilva7157]

I'm so happy you're back! It doesn't matter as much to me if you are thin or thick, because either way, as long as you just keep believing, and doing, you are helping us!

[@rebeccaox4172]

You are doing great. I would love to have even half of your strength when dealing with issues like this, keep doing what your doing.. Your an inspiration ❤️❤️

[@onthedl87]

I stumbled upon your channel by searching stichfix hauls for plus sized girls (my size). Then I noticed your change in appearance, So I watched more videos. Your candid realness strikes a chord with me. You've walked a tough road and the decision to pick yourself up and keep walking is beyond brave. Your story is inspiring and I'm excited to see more.

[@edeldaly]

yea for the 2 videos. thanks for sharing so much with us. its great to have you back. BTW I'm 41 and have been struggling with mental health issue for the last year and a half. so I am looking forward to watching your journey cause it kinda helps me in mine..weird I know but just let's me know I am not alone. I love your Snapchat and check on them all the time. there so funny some of them :-) anyways again best of luck thanks for my shout out in Snapchat and again great to have you back. looking forward to what's to come next xx

[@becks6580]

Ellie sorry to hear of let's call them "the pot holes" in life .. You are a very strong young woman to share your personal life with your audience.. It's hard enough on its own , and you have the courage to share. You look amazing although you may have lost the weight in some people's eyes as " the healthy " way it happened be very proud of yourself. I lost 100 pds after my youngest son was born new yrs eve baby. 12-31-01. Walked 3 miles every day through our blizzards here in Mass .. I had that still do skin.. I did 6 yrs later fig something out.. Feel free to msg me if you want information possibly for the future. Going through this break up I'm sure is so very hard on you both.., I do wish the two of you to soon begin on each of your own healing process .. So you both can move forward and be in a good mindset.. And live love laugh...

[@sarajean6219]

I am so glad that you are back, as doing better. Your story has been insperational to me. I too have suffered with depression and anxiety for most of my life. And understand what you have gone through to some extent. I am glad that you are able to make these videos to help people understand what its like and to let the people who are going through that same issues that they are not alone. I have also with it the past couple years lost a lot of weight (100 lbs), and I still see the "old" me in the mirror, and sometimes that can be really hard when the people who are close to you are telling you how great you look when you don't always see it; or when people you've just me don't believe that you lost so much weight. But my experince has tought me now more than ever that it's okay to just be you, and to not try to fit into other peoples molds or perceptions. And over time I am happy just being me but a healthier me. So I just wanted to say thank you for being someone I can take this journey with. Much love, Sara.

[@kimrocha23]

I didn't know other people went through this, I thought it was just me...so thank you so much for talking about it and you made me realize asking for help is okay.

[@luthiemescalona7189]

Ellieee! I know im a bit late and im so happy you are back! I didnt know you had PCOS which is something I have myself, I know its a very hard topic but I would love and I think it would be really helpful if you could make a video about it, how you have dealt with it and the symptoms you have, etc... I feel like nobody really talks about it but I love how you explain things and would love to hear you talk about it some more whenever you get the chance. All the love to you

[@idaboalmskou7666]

I just love your videos! You always sound so positive, and you always make me smile every time i watch your videos!

[@alexiafrench254]

"i couldnt be in silence because it was too loud" you have no idea how much i understand that...thanks for sharing with everything♡ ill send you some stuff soon whenever your p.o box works haha. i suffer with anxiety and depression. so i connected alot with you

[@yeseniaolivares206]

I just want to say what you probably already know, but you are really just so strong, talking about all of this can't possibly be easy and I just find this so real and inspiring and just, wow.. It's the beginning of a new journey for you and I just hope the it's full of love and joy and positivity and I've never felt so connected with someone I have never met, haha, sorry this is kinda weird for me but I just wanted to say that, lol, much love!

[@brookedobossy2217]

I had gastric surgery about a year ago & also have a lot of loose skin. I would love to see what you have to say about it & all of your input. Thank you for being so open about everything. You're such a beautiful person inside & out. I love you.

Hey gorgeous! I'm so happy that things are starting to come together for you. I just want to say with regard to a tummy tuck and surgery and all that, that it might actually be something to talk to your psychologist about because there is definitely a mental aspect that comes with these things that no one really talks about. I had a tummy tuck several years ago to repair separated tummy muscles and remove loose skin after pregnancy so I totally, totally understand your feelings in wanting one. I just wanted to make you aware of some of the things you might want to comes to terms with mentally that comes with it if/when you get it done. After I had mine done, I felt weird for a while knowing that a piece of me was missing. It also felt physically strange around my abdomen with everything pulled down in that when I would feel my tummy with my hand, I was feeling an area that felt like it was supposed to be higher up and that's never really gone away, and before I could even feel that the whole area was numb for a long time while the nerves grew back and formed new pathways. And the last thing that NO ONE told me that was a little bit of a surprise, is that while they pull everything down, they also pull bits from the bottom up, which means that my pubic area is now stretched much higher up and requires careful hair removal if I wear anything too low cut (sorry if that's TMI). I completely, completely understand how you must be feeling about getting it done, just keep some of these things in mind to mentally prepare yourself for them if/when it happens

[@jadehunter4983]

oh! and if you were to get pregnant in the future, you might find that everything will stretch out again to accommodate the pregnancy which could be quite uncomfortable depending on how much skin they remove. Again, just something to be mindful of that you might have to accept as a thing that comes with the whole process.

I think those of us dealing with loose skin, would benefit, from a video. I dont think it be too graphic. I also would love to see you share outfit of the day videos, or posts really. Ive always like your sense of style ever since you had stichfix.

[@nancywhite9993]

I don't remember how I first found your channel but I'm more than twice your age (53) and I still don't quite feel like I have it all together! What I'm learning is that my life doesn't need to be the same as anyone else my age (I don't have kids and have never wanted them whereas my friends have them...and grandkids). My journey is mine alone. Don't judge yourself as compared to anyone else.

[@ItsPetraful]

I've been going through something similar, as well. Not as extreme but yeah. That's why I deleted all my KZbin videos. I wish you a lot of luck on your journey and with everything else! Lots of love
