What To Do About Hanging Skin?



Recommended Posts

Hello to all, I'm new on here but not to weight loss and surgery as I had mine in 2005 and I have lost about 400lbs. I'm a Certified Personal Trainer and Wellness Coach as well as a Life Coach too. I see this site as a great connector to people and I have found that if you like to lose the excess skin without surgery under arms there's a few ways to do this. Also on the Belly and thighs there's some nice workouts that I do with people too. I'm on Facebook book if you like to friend me and also conect through here.

Duck tape - duck tape solves everything....

What trainin does a life coach entail? I have found myself wondering if I should not be in a more one-on one role re:career - but not a mortician (I have a degree in Mortuary Science).

Niahri,

We have the same doctor! I think we chose a great place! Btw, I live in Dayton but I'm from the west side of Cincy and stayed with my parents after surgery, which is why I chose Dr. Curry.

Yes! I love Dr. Curry. I started my weight loss journey with him and his office in early 2011 doing the Adipex. They are awesome. How have things gone for you since surgery?

So what advice for us old guys as I know when the weight comes off there will be lots. The younger ones have a better chance because it will snap back easier. Us ye ole dogs not so much.

Hey everyone!

Also from Cincinnati, I was sleeved at Good Samaritan, by Dr. Kerlakian on June 4th. Absolutely the best decision I have ever made in my life!

Anthony, I am very concerned about my upper arms, belly & inner thighs especially because of my age. My surgery is October 26th. I've been practicing yoga 2 to 3 times weekly for almost 2 years & I walk 3 to 4 days a week. I'm sure I'll need to join a gym, but I haven't worked out with weights in 18 years and in feeling very intimidated. I'd love to learn what I can do to prevent any sagging skin. I will look for you on FB. Thanks for your post.

      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.
