hi i'm new to the board and am having surgery on dec 2 sat. yikes--- one of my biggest fears of weight loss is the excess skin in the abdominal area and arms if not too personal have any of you ladies had the same fears it might sound petty which it is because i look forward to the weight loss but feel i will look horrid after my desired weight goal. i asked my doc and she said it depends on each person but if you have been big most of your life chances are the the skin will sort of shrink back into place???? but others it is not so??

so you answered my question!!!lol It was given to me a week ago and yes i've been using it but i feel i'm still doing it wrong and worry it will affect me some how during surgery???? thats jsu my nerves i quess. but thank you very much
