Recommended Posts

Hello,

My surgery is tomorrow and I'm nervous. I'm also afraid I will have a lot of loose skin. Anyone here 5'8 and weight around 260-270 and doesn't have much loose skin?

Im 5'9 and my starting weight was 275. Ive lost 30 pounds total and my surgerits y was March 21st. I don know your age, but Im 35 and have "youth" on my side, according to my surgeon. Once you can, start weight training. They say thats the best way to prevent lose skin.

Good luck with your surgery. I actually found everything to be a breeze, no nausea, no vomiting, tolerating everything really well.

I'm 5'9 and started almost a month ago at 287. Currently 262 and so far my body is shrinking nicely.

I don't anticipate a whole lot of lose skin.

Im 26 5"9 started at 275. Down 85lbs (25lbs to go) - zero loose skin so far! Oh and I'm 5 months out. I carried my weight well though it was spread all over.

5'10"...started at 303....down 40 (pre & post) and age 40...but I am only a month post-op. Water, Walking and Palmers firming butter lotion are 3 things that continually posted on threads that help with it.

Yep, good advice. Genetics plays a role also. Best wishes!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
