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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
