Best Way - Skin-Tightening Exercises | eHow.com

this link has a few little exercises to help tighten loose skin.

I was under the impression that exercise... although great for you... would't solve the skin problem. Its hard for me to understan how it could since it seems to be an issu of collegen and esasticity. I'm going to give it a try though. I've got a little tukey neck and the area just above my elbows is pretty loose.

Exercise will not affect the skin itself at ALL, although toning the muscle underneath can help fill out the space and support the skin better. After it's shrunk all it's going to, surgery's the only option for tightening or getting rid of the skin.

thats kind of what I thought.... I'm pretty good most places it just between my elbow joint and my bicepts. I think most people have trouble with the extra skin unter the tricept.... but mines on the front. since its such a small area I was thinking about using retin A because thats supposed to stimulate collegen. I'm also using a wrap thats supposed to help but no results so far. I would get the surgery in a heart beat if I had the money. Wearing short sleeves instead of sleeveless doesn't really work because the worst part is under where the sleeve hits. I cant go long sleve in this million degree heat :)

I guess I just have to suffer through the next month or so and then take stalk around next march or so.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
