Im Hoping For Snap Back !



Recommended Posts

I'm so nervous about having LOOSE SKIN! >_< Ew! People say I'm young and I don't have to worry etc etc! But I'm like that has nothing to do with anything loose skin can happen to anyone! I've been in this process for about 2/3 yrs kinda and I've been doin nothing but using creams to increase the elasticity in my skin because I already have stretch marks (sad face) at a young age and I don't wanna get any more or when I loose my weight I don't want my skin to be saggy so I've been drinking tons of Water and using the creams to hopefully prevent this from happening!!!! I cannot afford a Tummy Tuck or skin removal.

The younger you are the more elasticity your skin has but if you have hundreds of lbs. to loose no matter how young you are your skin can only do so much. Keep hydrated and keep your skin in good condition, exfoliate often and use a good moisturizer. There is no mericle cream out there so don't waste your money on that stuff, its just good common sense and proper diet will help.

I have heard that the cream used for pregnanacy helps a lot. There is no miracle but it can't hurt. Palmers is a good brand.

So far my skin been my friend. I'm losing weight so very slow. I love it! Gives me more time to save money for Tummy Tuck. You don't need to be rich or anything. I'm far from rich but a few hundreds I save a month will add up by the end of the year. Also you can finance surgery. Pay monthly I'm going to do my homework before my 2 years comes up so I know how much and what I'm paying.

It is true about age and your starting weight and how much you lose. My arms are my worst enemy right now! I hate them! Ive had stretch marks all my life but there are more since ive had surgery. My stomach has a microbit of excess skin but that's from my baby pouch I believe. But my main problem now is flabbiness...ick

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
