Losing weight too fast



Recommended Posts

Hi My surgery is Nov 10. I just wanted to know am I going to be losing the weight so fast that my skin won't have time to tighten up again? I know everyone is different but has anyone else had this problem?? I dont want to do this then later have to have a tummy-tuck to get ride of the skin?:help:

I don't think you will be losing THAT quickly... but only your genetics will tell you if your skin will snap back.

Personally I have lost and gained so many times that there is no hope... I can tell that my tummy is deflating and that ps is most likely in my future........

Drinking lots of Water, exercise, age and genetics.......... GOOD LUCK!

Don't fret over it. It's pretty much out of your hands and you're at the mercy of your age and genetics. Creams and salves can grease you up, but I don't think anything is going to make a dramatic difference. Your skin will do what your skin will do. I'm watching a lot of mine melt away and also seeing some of it bag up...but at my age that is to be expected. I'm just happy it's not bulbous blubbers of fat anymore. Sags can be nipped and tucked, so I'll take an inventory in about another 10-20 pounds and see where I stand.

Me too. There's loose skin there for sure, but not problematic or visible. Its just the luck of the draw.

Concentrate on the weight first, you cant worry about everything. Its not in your control, so try to relax about it and worry about it later.

I know I will need a Tummy Tuck after all is said and done. My skin was all stretched out from having 3 babies and being so overweight. After losing 51 pounds it is evident that surgery is in the future. It's just the luck of the draw.

      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!
