Has anyone else other than myself given thought to HGH to help with loose skin? I have some in my stomach region and thighs and have read up on HGH and looks to have great skin attributes.

I can safely say no I haven't thought about it.

it sounds worse than it is. I have considered it before, though not for loose skin. It is expensive, so not a decision to make lightly.

I've done a little research on it and it is highly expensive if you can't get a perscription for it. It will however help with loose skin and help create muscle. I think its better for older guys as it will help give them younger more elastic skin. My wife is a nurse and I've had her looking into it and I'm doing some more looking into it when I find time off of work. I'd rather do something non surgical for loose skin and this seems to be something that might be worth looking into.

never really thought about it... then again I'm thinking if I do a moderate amount of daily exercising and weight lifting that can help... correct me if I am wrong. Lolz although I wonder how one might get a prescription for that. What have you found out Andrew?

Havn't talked with a doctor yet about it. I've been on straight nights for a few monthes now. I've lost over 120 lbs and have some loose skin and even with running and weight lifting hasn't done anything about my thighs and stomach region. My arms however are very nice lol. I'm going to check into it and see what I can find out and if anyone else finds out some info please share.

It was discovered during my pre-screening for the band that my testosterone levels were 4x less than what they should be. I've since been prescribed and have been doing injectible testosterone every two weeks. We'll see how that helps...

keep me up to date on how that goes for you. I've found that just staying hydrated and doing my Protein shakes etc.. has been working out ok.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
