Lets Talk Flabby/Saggy Skin!



Recommended Posts

Ok, So lets talk about skin sag…

First off let me say, I am a guy and the thing I want to do most is walk down the beach shirtless and not be ashamed. Is that realistic?

I heard people say if you work out right as a guy; you can not only lose weight, but gain muscle and between the skin tightening and the muscle gaining it won’t look bad at all.

Personally I am 28, and about 100lbs over weight. I heal really quickly, if I get cut, with a little medicine its usually completely gone in two days. My doctors are amazed at it… so I’m wondering it this will have any benefit at all.

What do you think?

PS Pics are coming soon :)

I weighed 370 and currently weigh 220 I'm down 150 lbs I've been running and lifting. Would I like a Tummy Tuck yes do I really need one no. I'm 11 months out and I'm 31. I'm also 6'2" but I would have to say I look great for losing 150 pounds and I'm still losing about 5 pounds a month and gaining my muscle back. I've been eating a lot of Protein and I don't have a six pack but I do feel like I could walk around without a shirt on.

Relative to most sleevers, 100 pounds isn't all that much overweight. And given the fact that you are still young, you can definately get there and I'm guessing it's very realistic! I've gotten this question a few times lately. There is only so much information I know about a person on here and given my limited knowledge on the subject, I can't say without a doubt and can only let someone know what works for me. I think patience is key to skin bouncing back. Also lifting weights and drinking plenty of Water can benefit some. I say decide on a program to get to where you want to be, have that plan and stick with it and be patient.....it will probably pay off for you. Good luck bud!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
