So I don't know what else to call it lol but my weight loss in my face has given me a turkey neck!

Ugh I'm so self conscious about it. Does this get any better? Does it get worse? I don't have money for plastics...I was self pay and that literally broke the bank.

*sigh*

I'm 41 but I feel like I'm starting to look 101

Please don't feel bad because I too am seeing signs of a turkey neck. I am 53 and losing weight just three years ago did not create this problem, but now the signs are here. Like you I do not have funds for plastic surgery. To combat this problem I keep my face/neck washed and rinse with cold Water.

I am having the same problem. My friend who has a beautiful chin/throat/neck line told me that she does this simple exercise while driving or watching TV or anytime throughout the day. Simply say the vowels A-E-I-O-U but OVER emphasize them using many facial muscles. You can truly feel your neck muscles moving. I have now done this for three days and I can feel a little tug in my jaw line letting me know "something" is happening.

Thanks for the exercise suggestions and I have already saved the website livestrong that refers to exercises for chin and neck. Oh, by the way I began repeating the vowels over and over , which seemed to invigorate both my chin and neck.

You can wear silk scarves till you feel comfortable with the results of your chin exercises. Ross usually has a great selection at a convenient price.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
