Vain not vein question



Recommended Posts

I have been reading all about loose skin on this board and haven't seen anything about facial wrinkles. Im no spring chicken (48) and I'm afraid my face will just be covered in new wrinkles (I've never liked the old ones!). Any experience out there or am I just being vain.

Ps I do realize being healthy is my ultimate goal! But being pretty AND healthy appeals to me more!!

I am 65 years old. After gastric bypass surgery, my skin became extremely wrinkled, like paper crinkles. Overnight, I began to look a hundred years old. My wife suggested I use Bio-Oil available at CVS. I apply it once each morning and that takes care of the problem.

@@LisaRu yes there are many people who lose weight and the stretched skin on the face deflates and leaves wrinkles. The problem is that everyone is different so there's no for sure way to find out if you will until you hit goal. I didn't have wrinkles, in fact looked a decade younger.

Nothing wrong with wanting to look nice and attractive, just my opinion. :) I hope it works out for you and if not, that's what fillers or plastic surgery is for!

My wife has used it for several years now due to natural wrinkling. She never had surgery. I think it is one of her natural beauty secrets.

I look 16 again... So it did the opposite to me as many people look younger after they loose the weight.

I think the surgery took about 10 years off my face. I do have the turkey neck fat under my chin. As I lose weight, it seems to tighten up. :D

      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.

      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!
