flabbyness

I had my sleeve surgery Dec 18th.... I have loss about 15lbs and I'm noticing my skin becoming flabby. My face doesn't feel as firm. Does anyone have suggestions? Has anyone else encounter this same issue?

It sucks... :( I'm wondering if perhaps I'm not drinking enough protein.

It's the price we pay for being heavy. The skin is stretched :(

I totally hate my neck...ugh

I'm dying to know if anyone has ever just got lucky and their skin just bounced back?!?!? I know wishful thinking *sigh* does age have anything to do with it or is it just pretty much be fat or skinny and saggy? No fair!

I think if your young your good to go and shouldn't have a problem.

I'm older so my skin doesn't have a lot of collagen. It sure makes me feel older than old :(

I've seen lots and lots of gorgeous after photos of people looking great so its not everyone.

I'm sorry :( I bet you are beautiful! Well I'm only 22 so I'm hoping I get super lucky after surgery. I've been using gobs and gobs of cocoa butter lotion cos I read it's suppose to help. Again wishful thinking :)

Oh I envy you :)))) youre going to love your new life and I'm positive you are going to be beautiful!! You already are beautiful so you'll be fabulousness!!!!

I wish I had done this when I was younger!

So happy for you!!!!

Thank you!

You will be super successful, I look forward to hearing about all your success.

I never could have done this without the surgery. It gave me my life back and I'm so thankful. :)

It's too early now for you to do those exercises but after 6 to 8 weeks post op your physician should clear you for exercise.

Right now walking is the best thing. :)

That's awesome!!! I know of some people who have done bariatric surgery and have regain most if not all their weight back. That's not where I want to be... I rather have all the flabbiness... LOL :rolleyes:

I had my sleeve surgery Dec 18th.... I have loss about 15lbs and I'm noticing my skin becoming flabby. My face doesn't feel as firm. Does anyone have suggestions? Has anyone else encounter this same issue?

I was also sleeved on the 18th! I noticed my belly, which was already pretty much gross and had a life of its own down there, has a kind of deflated look to it. My stretch marks are no longer flat and pink. They are indented and kind of silvery in color. I call it my apron. It just kind of hangs over my csection scar. If we have the money later on down the road I am seeing some skin removal!
