Laser skin tightening



Recommended Posts

Has anyone had laser skin tightening after getting to goal? Did it make much a difference? I'm pretty convinced I would have to be really bad to undergo plastic surgery (except for my breast maybe), but I was wondering how well laser tightening worked. Anyone have any input?

Oh, I wish it worked! I just dont believe it could. I was sooooo lucky with a large weight loss, I dont have any hanging stomach, but I'm just frustrated by not being perfect. Lol, dressed you'd think I have a great figure, but I am a bit saggy and baggy, and its such a shame to be so fit and in such great shape but have the skin of an older woman. But I"m nowhere near bad enough to subject myself to a body lift - most of my sag is on my butt and lower back, and not on the front although my tummy is loose. But I'd be so hesitant to spend big money on a procedure that might only have a barely visible result that only you can really notcie.

I had Fraxel laser on my face and neck on a few ocasions over the past 2 years. There is a small difference but not enough to justify all the $$ I spent!

This is the first time I've heard anything about laser skin tightening. I'll have to do some research into it. I believe I'm ready after losing 100lbs, I look like a dying octopus. Needless to say, my hope for an intimate relationship lays at me feet, along with my breasts, stomach, arms, and butt.

Keep me informed if you do decide to do this. I'd love to know how it works. I'm not quite half way to goal yet but I know I will have some loose skin.

I think my biggest area of concern will be my thighs and arms. My stomach isn't super big to begin with so even though I may have some, i don't think it will be enough to warrant surgery. I carry my weight pretty proportionatly but my thighs are an area of concern. While I've always been very muscular, there is that patch of fat in my inner thighs that stretched me out as a teen... oh and my hips... :(

Watching the excess skin videos on YouTube have me a bit scared... lol

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
