Excess Skin



Recommended Posts

I'm 21 and I've lost 187 pounds in a little under a year and I don't have very much excess skin.

Well congrats to those who don't have excess skin, cause I do especially my tummy, sometimes it really bothers me but I am definitely getting a Tummy Tuck this winter.....

It all depends on where you carried all your weight. If you were all belly, you will defiantly have a skirt of skin hanging. I knew a girl in who was very wide,carried all her weight in her upper body, and is just drowning in extra skin. I'm 24, and down almost 95 lbs and no noticeable extra skin even though I lost 5 pant size/3 top sizes. I'm built solid weight distributes pretty even

Does anyone know what the sauna does for the excess skin? Like how long you have to use it and how many minutes? Any experience with this making a difference?

Lost 125 lbs in a little under a year. Skin is horrendous(to me) around stomach bottom. Arms and legs are seeming to look more and more normal everyday.

Well I'm in my 30's (I know this post is in the 20's section) and my excess skin isn't too bad. I think I could be a candidate for a Tummy Tuck, but I want to maintain my weight for a while before thinking about that. Stomach isn't really too bad, but more something I'd do as a gift for myself. Overall the skin issue is ok, and I'm definitely in the gym toning as much as I can.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
