I was wondering if any one has found a way to lessen the amount of sagging skin after WLS. Does wearing tight clothing help? Thought about wearing a sports bra, at least at night, to keep the girls from getting long. I am concerned about my lower belly. Doc said it will be longer then it is now. Unfortunately, my insurance wont pay to have the skin removed. Thoughts and suggestions on this topic would be appreciated. Thanks

What I have read from other posts is that Water (hydration), great moisturizer and strength conditioning can help keep the skin tight. I think the amount of weight you lose and your age will come in to play as well. We can't really do anything about those but we can make sure we get in plenty of Water, keep moisturizing our skin and do toning exercises to keep things as tight as possible. If anyone knows of anything else that will help, please let us know:)

Sadly this is mostly down to genetics but hydration, trying not to lose the weight really quickly and excercise especially weights will all help

      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! 😞
