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 am 5'11" and started out at 334.9 and I have lost 116 lbs, I do have loose skin but its not near as ugly to me as the fat I had before the surgery!

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!

      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! 😞
