Ok ladies,

A girdle or Shapewear will smooth and tuck the loose skin for clothing to fit better. Age and how long you have been overweight will be factors on what your loose skin is going to look like. Plastics is the only way to get rid of it.

We are talking a 75 pound to a 100 pound weight loss. If you are concerned about sag now...You are going to be surprised after your loss. A few photos of what it might look like for you.

Unfortunately I'm already pretty saggy in the stomach 60lbs down. Would hate to see what I look like at 100lb loss.

It all depends on your age, weight and how long you were overweight. Your loose skin is an unknown outcome of surgery. You can have two people the same weight and height and the loose skin looks totally different.

Oh totally but that second guys skin is extremely bad (and is relatively young) I think it looks like much more than 100 pounds of weight loss

I was just looking into ways to avoid skin sagging, genetics, age, how long you've been overweight does play a factor. What u can do as u lose weight, get a body brush to brush your skin, it increases circulation & skin renewal. purchase a colagen cream & massage needed areas: stomach, legs arms etc. hope this helps. I am 10 days post op & anything tight on my stomach still hurts. when u are comfortable put the shapeware on. I figured, I would give myself another month but in the meantime I cam start with the above

I don't believe this will make any difference at all whatsoever.

Nor would anything in the post below.

Honestly most of your options is putting on muscle after (which is extremely limited in its usefulness), surgical/laser based, and just staying healthy and hydrated.

Most articles on treatment/prevention options expose them as gimmicks designed to steal your money.

From what I read, there is not much you can do. I had really good luck using cocoa butter when I was pregnant. I didn’t get a single stretch mark and my tummy bounced right back. I know weight loss like this is a completely different ball game, but I might try it just for the heck of it. Saying that, I’ve always had a small waist, even for being a chunky monkey, lol.

I am going to really focus on heavy lifting for the next few months before my surgery, and pack on as much muscle as I can. I know I will be out of the weight room for about a month, so I want to be as proactive as I can. Then, as soon as I can get back to it, heavy lifting will be my focus. The muscle helps a ton!

I wear an ab binder to help with pain. It holds my stomach tight so that when I sneeze, cough or laugh in public it doesn’t hurt as much. It allows me to sleep on my side and reduces my pain when getting up, sitting down or going for a walk. I love mine, I don’t have any expectations that it will help with sagging skin or anything though. I have no idea about shape wear, wish I could help more.


Have a great day!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
