Sagging Skin



Recommended Posts

@@AnA92212 You lost an incredible amount of weight to only have that much sagging skin - you've been very lucky! I don't think I'll lose as much weight and probably won't be as lucky - but one can hope! Congrats!

I am lucky but I work out hard too. Everyone is different. I wore a binder after surgery for a month. It helped with pain and I think it helps with skin. Doctor said it doesn't but I did it anyway.

As someone who started at 688, and who is now 387 as of last Saturday, the excess skin has really become an annoyance post-op.

Nothing I can do about it now though. It will hopefully be addressed in the future.

That is amazing! I'm worried about loose skin myself. My highest weight was 540 and I am currently at 400 4 months out. How long did it take you to get to your current weight?

      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! 😞
