Never thought I'd consider cosmetic surgery

But.. was sleeved mid Nov. Down (remarkable) 83 lbs... been eating per nutritionist and working out... at least 5 times a week... (swimming) have TONS TONS of energy... but obviously have saggy skin... seems a shame to feel so great... and have saddle bags! Any thoughts on Lipo... tummy tuck? Non evasive procedures? Freezing? Deep ultra sound? Aka. Lipo blast plus? Any thoughts most appreciated

      Get to goal, and get consults. People tell you that body wraps, lotions and voodoo dolls will shrink skin, but the truth of the matter, is if you have alot of skin it won't "snap back" because it is

      Saggy skin won't be resolved with lipo or any of the "non-invasive" treatments you mentioned. Depending on how much of it there is and where it is, you will probably have to look into actual skin remo

    Compression shorts under or on top. I would say under. Unless you fell like a peacock and want to attract some ladies, under your sweatpants will probably make your spouse less paranoid. Especially if you are making better progress than her. As for cosmetic surgery, male breast reduction for gynecomastia or plastic surgery to remove excess skin can cause nerve damage to the nipples. So unless your moobs / flapjacks are really giving you a problem, you have to weigh the risks against the benefits.

    @@OKCPirate Do you find that the Nike Dri-FIT Phenom Vapor compression shorts get less stinky than regular compression shorts? For some reason compression shorts get ripe after just a few hours. It must be the material or something. I've never bought the Nike brand so am wondering if it is worth the extra expense.

    Nikasio, I noticed many synthetics do smell bad, I have not noticed it with these. Mine are Nike 12.5cm Phenom Two-in-One Men's Running Shorts. Not true compression, but it's enough. Oh, I got mine at an outlet in Phoenix for $18 a pair, so look around.
