So young still, not me so much, I think that toning can be natural allot of the time, given you exercise some that you may tone up better in time than you expect right now of this, procedures are long away and you shouldn't need it as a goal if at all maybe even.

I have bounced weights for years and years, allot of times no one noticed any hanging flesh on me, I had a small tummy bulge but arms were easy to exercise away that which your worried over. At 20 you shouldn't need to think that, you should only think of when you can modify a work out to rid your body of all that.

good luck, I am real apreciative of my surgeon and the outcome so far, I am 11 days out and down several pounds, first few days are uncomfortable the rest is getting easy I'd say for myself.

I'm with you in that concern. I have a portrait tattoo of my daughter on my leg and I'm really concerned how its going to look post-surgery. Keep us updated!

It depends on where your weight is proportioned, age (which is on your side) genetics and how long you've been overweight. By your pictures I honestly don't think you'll have much of a problem. Your arms aren't that big. My arms are my worst area, even pre op they sagged (from years of yo-yoing with my weight) now they are already very saggy and I've only lost 55lbs (have lots more to go). But I had a 20 inch forearm at my biggest so it's understandable there is going to be skin issues. I honestly think you'll be fine. And by the way your beautiful :) good luck to you you'll do great!!

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
