loose skin



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, I know this has probably been discussed already so I apologize for not already finding an answer that would work for me and I wasn't sure to post it in pre-op or post-op.

I just got my surgery scheduled today for March 21st. I am mainly concerned about the sagging skin issue and need any tips or exercise programs to adhere to from here on out to minimize the sag as much as possible.

I am 30 years old and already have poor elasticity from losing and gaining the same 100 pounds since I was little.

I am just trying to get an idea on what i should be working on now and the schedule to follow after surgery. I know my breasts probably won't have even a fighting chance so that's cool but I would like to try to avoid lots of sag in other places. :unsure:

Currently I use the treadmill, bike and free weights during each workout and I do that about 3 times a week. :rolleyes:

Any help from people that have had positive experiences with their routine would be appreciated!!

I started taking Biotin to help not only with the skin but also to prevent hairloss. I get it on Amazon 13 bucks for 4 months. So it's worth a shot, lol

I would say that body sculpting and areobic classes weight lifting would do wonders for saggin skin.. I have lost 46 pounds since surgery and I have been walking a lot and lifting weights in my problem areas to help with the skin issue. I don't know how much it will work but I am trying really hard.

      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.

        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!
