Discomfort in apron



Recommended Posts

I am about three months post op and have lost around 100 lbs from my heaviest. I have recently been experiencing discomfort in my lower stomach area ( the skin my doc calls my apron). It's almost like a bruised feeling. Has anyone else had this feeling? Is it due to the weight of the hanging skin?

Short answer....yes. Try using powder, vaseline, or deodorant. If your apron continues to cause discomfort you may want to consult a plastic surgeon. Insurance may cover it before you reach goal if doc says it's inhibiting your continued weight loss progress & exercise. Hope this helped.

What about the shape wear? Will it lift any of the skin up? I agree pick up some powder, stay dry when ever possible air the area to keep moisture away and prevent yeast infections. Trust me its not fun! Having problems with that under my girls and fighting it

      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! 😞
