  • 330 starting weight and 72 years old will compound my problems. Would need to look for hygein and skin protection products - OTC and natural. Maybe Spandex will help outside the house? Plastic Sur

  • I'm with you on this one! And, I'm not a "Curvy Goddess", ... I'm a dude!! My date is 2/13.

  • Whether your skin sags [or fails to tighten up] post-weight loss has mostly to do with age, how much weight you lose, how rapidly you lost it, genetics, and whether you do any strength training exerci

Omg yessss I will try anything!!! What wraps are you talking about?

Ok so I follow a couple of ppl on instagram who sell or promote the wraps. I believe they're called" itworks". If you are an ig member it will be easy to find in the tags section under #tummytuck or just Google it

I guess I just said vain because my goal is to eliminate health issues, and live longer. Not to look cute in a bikini, ya know?

Lol I'm sorry I don't know because I want to be healthy but for damn sure I want to look better and feel better about myself. Though I'm not aiming for a bikini, as sexy little one piece wouldn't hurt.

You have never lied the struggle has been real for a longgggg time. I'm so glad I now see there are people are out there with the same struggle and I am not alone!

I just realized you joined last night....yay me too lol. Anyway, do u have a date yet or have you had the procedure? What's your goal weight (ideal)?

Curvy you are young.....I think you will bounce back...I've seen people twice your age that don't look to bad...don't worry honey you have many years to tone up....take care and good luck

Thanks guys! I'm 21 so I think my age with do me well however my arms are rather large so I'm super concerned about that area. I know my legs will be fine I'm curvy so not to much fat just in the stomach area. I've heard massages help I'm not sure how but I've seen some pretty successful people that's proven that. I'll do whatever it takes and I think that will take me a long way.

No I haven't had the procedure yet however I will be sleeved on the 24th of March! I literally have a couple of things left to do then I will be able to just focus on the date. I haven't picked out a specific weight but I wouldn't want to go under 150 because I'm curvy. I'm 5'7 so I don't want to be too skinny. I'm mixed so I think I'll still have my curves but ill just have to see as I go. You?

150 sounds great. What's left to do? Do you think you're ready for all the stuff that comes with the surgery? I'm slightly afraid of the pain.

Okay so I have to go for a group class to get some info for pre and post op diet and pay the $600 program fee. I think for the most part I'm mentally and physically ready but I don't think that's an experience you can be fully prepared for because of various reasons. The biggest reason is you won't know fully until you've been through it. As far as the pain goes my surgeon has said she will put a bulb with numbing meds in my largest incision. I'm not sure exactly how to explain it to you but everyone said it has helped tremendously and they use less oral pain meds.

<p>Your body will either tighten up or not. epends on elasticity!! I had full tummy tuck.. A sugery i would never ever do again. all the way around i have a scar.. no biggie but i did it. Im as flat as a board.</p> <p> </p> <p>Chris</p>

I'm just hoping for the best and if push comes to shove I will just have to have to evaluate at that point.
