Most people have loose skin. No, there isn't a whole lot you can do about it besides trying exercise to tone it up a little. Surgery is always an option once you've hit goal and maintained a while. I think the younger you are, and the less weight you have to lose helps with loose skin, but it's just part of the process for most.

Just like with the loose skin, how the girls hold up is also about age and how much you need to lose. But boobs are mostly made up of fatty tissue, so you loose fat, you loose boobs. The more you have to lose, the more boobage you lose. Hopefully you're on the younger side, so they may hold up.

hair loss happens to most. Some lose a little, some lose a lot. I started at 5 months, and now at 11 months, it's stopped. I have thick hair, so me and my hairdresser were really the only ones who could tell :) Once again, not a lot you can do about it. Some will swear by this or that, but nothing has been proven to really stop it or slow it.

The common theme? All those things you questioned are pretty much part of the whole WLS process, and there really is not a lot you can do to prevent them. Looking at the big picture, it's a small price to pay to become a healthy, normal weight.

I'm 24 and I asked my Dr if he thought how bad weight loss would be he said considering I have a lot of muscle and I work out constantly he doesn't think I'll be to bad at 21 I got a Tummy Tuck cause I was in my prime athlete years in college hopefully everything stays "ok" I weight lift now I'm pretty solid but still struggle with weightloss tho

You're young and athletic. Your skin and boobs may hold up okay. I also know that tummy tucks hold up well after weight loss, too.

Good luck on your upcoming surgery! Keep us posted!

My hair started out baby fine and thin. I'm losing hair at warp speed now and scared that I'll end up bald. I'm 6 1/2 months out of sleeve surgery. Any ideas?

I never seem to get a reply. I'll probably not participate in this blog anymore.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
