arms getting floppy...



Recommended Posts

I love the fact that now that I have started to walk I'm losing weight but i just noticed that my arms are floppy with skin just dangling...

What have some of you done to help minimize the lose floppy skin?

Whats helped me is weight lifting..I take a body pump class a couple times a week. Also, iv read drinking Water helps with the loose skin too and I drink a ton of Water. Mine are still a little flabby after losing 50lbs but I think they would be worse if I didnt do the arm weights. I think that is about the only thing you really can do to help.

Oh man, my arms are the worst ! I had quite a bit of underarm fat and now I have big bags of sloppy floppy skin there. Short of plastic surgery, there is nothing that can be done about the skin. I think loose skin looks better draped over muscles, but the skin is not going to change. I'm not sure if I will ever do any plastic surgery. I'm just glad I lost so much weight at this point.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
