Plenty of Water, moisturize, exercise. Sometimes it comes down to genetics and the health of your skin. I have heard if you have stretch marks in an area, the skin is already compromised.

No problem, I also worry about loose skin, but I figure if push comes to shove I can save for skin removal. I'd much rather be thin and healthy with loose skin than fat and unhealthy without!

well, i think it depends alot on our bodies (some peoples skin is more elastic than others)

and then some will be more saggy than others. i would rather have saggy skin then be obese anyday so i am not fretting very much over it. (however, you can always have plastic surgery if you want to). congrats on your surgery :)

It really is a lot of genetics....but if you continue to exercise it will help you stay toned. I think the majority of people have at least a little bit of 'flab', especially if they have lost a lot of weight. I have lost over 100 lbs, and most of my flab is in my stomach, but its not noticable with clothes on, and I think without clothes I notice it more than my fiancee, more than anything I need a boob job now.

I had this same question with my surgeon. I ask him adn he since as a non-smoker your skin is basically like elastic and with workouts it should not be something to worry about

      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'. ???

        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!
