Can You Hide/tuck/tape Excess Skin?



Recommended Posts

I won't be getting plastic surgery so I was wondering if there are any products out exist like "excess skin duct tape" that could be used to lift up skin. I'm particularly worried about a dance costume that I have to wear.

Spanx has so many different products that can really smooth you out. I love them. I want a boob job/tummy tuck eventually ~ but for now its Spanx for me.

I posted this a while back.

If anyone in their community is willing to contact a BURN CENTER in their area Like a Children's Hospital. Contact the Chief Surgeon, and ask him in a nice way, if you donate your skin, would he donate his time to take it.

Children's Hospital of Michigan told me to contact them when I was ready to do it. The surgeon assured me that he would do all the surgery for free himself. Included Hospital stay. That's what I will do when the time is rite. You might want to venture out, and talk to the BOSS of a Burn Unit, they need the skin.

If one says no, I would not stop with that. But TALK TO THE HEAD SURGEON. It's his/her Decision. No one else's 2 cents even matters. I learned that when I worked in Foster Care, and had allot of Burn Patients. Sometimes others said what they wanted, and he came along and said the complete opposite, and what he said mattered.

So if you want it bad enough,,, I would check into this.

Shirley.

      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.

      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!
