Best Way - Skin-Tightening Exercises | eHow.com

this link has a few little exercises to help tighten loose skin.

I was under the impression that exercise... although great for you... would't solve the skin problem. Its hard for me to understan how it could since it seems to be an issu of collegen and esasticity. I'm going to give it a try though. I've got a little tukey neck and the area just above my elbows is pretty loose.

Exercise will not affect the skin itself at ALL, although toning the muscle underneath can help fill out the space and support the skin better. After it's shrunk all it's going to, surgery's the only option for tightening or getting rid of the skin.

thats kind of what I thought.... I'm pretty good most places it just between my elbow joint and my bicepts. I think most people have trouble with the extra skin unter the tricept.... but mines on the front. since its such a small area I was thinking about using retin A because thats supposed to stimulate collegen. I'm also using a wrap thats supposed to help but no results so far. I would get the surgery in a heart beat if I had the money. Wearing short sleeves instead of sleeveless doesn't really work because the worst part is under where the sleeve hits. I cant go long sleve in this million degree heat :)

I guess I just have to suffer through the next month or so and then take stalk around next march or so.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
