I am in the last stretch of hitting my goal. Did it get harder to drop the weight at the end? I platue a lot now. I only need to lose another 30lbs and the scale just seems to like where I am at. Don't get me wrong I like where I am in size minus the sagging areas LOL! Any ideas or suggestions?

I am still preop... but I know that anytime we lose weight, it comes off slower the closer we get to goal. I've no doubt its the same after WLS. But I have faith you will get there! :) Congrats again on those size 8's!!
