How many have experienced loose skin after? My fat is all over and I worry about my arms the most post sleeve! Did anyone not have hanging skin and did some of you have cosmetic surgery yet?

I do have hanging skin on my arms but I can certainly live with it. I even go sleeveless now............I figure it's better than being fat! :)

I have some, work hard at working out. I am only 4+ mos out and I am told it will continue to tone for up to 2 years after surgery. I'd trade some loose skin for being 60+ lbs heavier! I do weight training, yoga, running/walking and some cardio classes- I TRY to worn out each day of the week. Good Luck!

I'm 4.5 months out and holding out no hope for my arms. Saving my pennies for an arm lift. Thankfully I work for plastic surgeons so maybe they'll cut me a good deal. ;)

Thinking I might be able to get insurance to cover tummy and thighs if they become a problem.

I'm six months out and I have loose skin on my arms, inner thighs, and tummy. It's not too bad. I too will get a lift eventually. I can always tell when I'm loosing more weight because it looks different. I'm living with it. I'm gonna be a skinny b***h damnit!!

Do not worry about the loose skin yet..... you will be amazed if you work out that the skin WILL shrink..... but you have to work it...... NOTHING COMES FREEEEEEEEEEEE Ü

I've been working out regularly for 2 months and it HAS helped, but I'm pretty sure I'd have to build arms like Hulk Hogan to fill up all my extra skin there. ;) Always been a problem area.

Along with my 4 week old sleeve and exercise, I'm going to try the body wraps by It Works to get these bat wings under control along with my excess, thanks to my babies, tummy flab. Check out http:/:cmomentphoto.myitworks.com if you want to try it with me. A tank top would be fantastic to go along with my 26 lb loss so far!!

I've been working out off and on for years and my arms have never been my problem area, now my thighs on the other hand have always been jiggly even when I was a fit teenager. I will definitely need a breast lift and Tummy Tuck. Hopefully all these years of working out will pay off once I lose all this weight and I will have minimal amounts of loose skin.

      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! 😞
