One of the things I didn’t know about loose skin.



Recommended Posts

Is that blackheads like to grow within the wrinkle of the loose skin... No matter how much I clean my body, it’s just appears.

Good news, I have collarbones!

Highest weight: 360

Surgery Weight: 339

Current Weight: 274

Date of surgery: June 6th, 2017

I don’t mind if I am losing slowly, it should help the elasticity of my skin go back to normal (I’m still young, only 26.)

Congrats on your losses so far! You are doing great!

Make sure to use lotion after bathing. I find it really helps with skin issues. Body lotion on the body, and a facial moisturizer for the face (I like Cetaphil).

When the skin gets dry after a bath, it makes the skin go into overdrive making oils, but meanwhile the surface is hard and rough, maybe sealed shut a bit, so the oil can't get out easily. Add the constant pressure and friction of skin on skin, bam! Clogged pores.

You may already be using lotion, and if so, then here's hoping someone else has a suggestion...

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
