I don't think you ever get rid of it. Some people opt for surgery, I myself am just learning to deal with it. I wear compression gear under my clothes. It is a small price to pay but I don't miss my old self one bit.

It should be noted also that I am lifting weights, and doing cardio training like a man possessed.

I had a Tummy Tuck after losing all my weight with the lapband (had to get revised to bypass may 21) but I got a tummy tuck and honestly it was worth EVERY DAMN PENNY! Lol I loved not having to wear Spanx, having a flat tummy, no skin fold irritation and best thing looking decent in a bikini! Yes a bikini! It gave me so much confidence. It was less than the price of a new car and as my hubby says he will get many more miles out of me than some car lol! I suggest saving your penny's from all the $ you will save on food! :)

I just got some compression shirts from Walmart. The short sleve ones go for around $10 and the long sleve for $13. Much cheaper than online prices. I am thinking though about surgery to remove the skin. However, I an less than 6 months out and not sure when I qualify for that.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
