I am scheduled for surgery on 1/2/18. One thing that worries me is sagging skin; I know it’s vain. I am 62 years old and I am guessing there is not much elasticity left in my skin. Right now, at 225 pounds, people say I look a lot younger. I want to do everything possible to combat looking old. Has anyone tried dry brushing and if so, do you feel it helped? I look at all the amazing before/after photos and so many of you look absolutely fantastic and don’t appear to have skin sagging. Does anyone have any other advice on keeping skin in top shape? Thank you all in advance.

I dry brush and I love it! Really gets the lymphatic system going. It keeps the skin on my inner and outer thighs more firm. It does help with cellulite and if I'm retaining Water I just do a quick dry brush and that Water retention is gone. I also use Himalayan sea salt scrubs 3x a week during my showers and it works wonders. Definitely think you should give it try

Hi, what is dry brushing? I’ve never heard of this. Do you do it on your total body, what kind of brush? Thanks

It's a natural detox that also helps with skin tightening, cellulite and blood circulation. You use a soft but firm wooden hand brush. You start at your feet and work your way up to the heart. 2x a day and it works wonders for me.

Nothing is on the brush. You just start from your feet and move the brush in circular motions up towards your heart. I do all of my legs, tummy, buttocks and then start at my finger tips and move towards the center of my chest.

I do this, and am ordering a fascia blaster for a Christmas present to myself.

      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!
