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.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
