Has Anyone Else Gone Through This Problem of Skin Hanging?



Recommended Posts

I am 1 month post opt from a Tummytuck with muscle repair, I was working out 2 hours each day for 7 days a week and could not tighten up that loose skin, my Tummy Tuck was done exactly 1 year and 1 month post opt . Good luck everyone .

Hi I have heard that after skin removal, if you gain any weight back it won't go to these area's? I heard it goes to area's that you might not want it to go. Does anyone know if this is true? I have a long ways to go but my arms are already really loose. I am almost 50 so i think my skin is older and may not go back as easy. Any information is helpful. thank you

from what I understand that only happens if you have liposuction. During liposuction they remove the fat cells too so the new weight goes to where the fat cells still exist.

      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! 😞
