I need help from the guys!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved in July.. Im down 120lbs and l feel great.. However l have an issue.. My skin is looser, and parts of me "jiggle" when l walk, jog, and workout at the gym.. The main problem areas are my upper legs (thighs) and my chest (man boobs)... Its sometimes embarrassing and makes me feel uncomfortable.. With it still being too soon for me to consider the skin removal, is there ANYTHING l can do to help the situation??

My doc told me to wait at least a year or two because your skin will adjust more and regroup.. but you have to do what makes you feel good about yourself.

Take care,

Compression clothing. Under armour shirts only do so much. M check out makemeheal.com. They have some interesting stuff for Tummy Tuck post ops. Heavy duty compression garments that will keep the lose parts contained.

Eventually, your man boobs will go away...keeping working out. The rest may not without surgery, but typically docs want you to wait at least a year. Depends on the doc I guess.

look up rash guard shirts.. You can wear them under your regular shits and they are sorta like compression clothing.

Under Armour has some great compression clothing. Kind of pricey, but well worth it in my opinion. My son gave me some of the pants and my legs feel so much better when I wear them for working out. It's like having a mini-massage with every step. I have some flabby(no muscle) thighs and the compression pants work great.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
