No Lose Skin?



Recommended Posts

Is there ANYONE here that had the surgery, lost/is losing a bunch of weight, and has little to no lose skin?? What did you do? I'm scheduled for surgery in 24 days... I don't have any flabby skin right now at all - at 300 lbs. I'm fat, but it's contained... Just wondering what some of the preventative techniques were

Workout workout workout! Not just cardio, you have to do some circuit/weight training.

I am interested in this too. How much should be weight training as opposed to cardio? Should it be a few days a week, every day, at least 10 minutes per day, 20, 30, 40, etc?

Hello,

I had my gastric sleeve surgery mid July and started weight training in September so almost 2 months now twice a week. Last night I noticed loose skin in the breast area do anyone have any advice/ideas/exercises on how to tone up the breast area?

Please send me your thoughts I do not want to have breast surgery it took all my energy to have gastric sleeve surgery.

Thanks for listening,

Lee

I don't really have any loose skin, but I haven't lost as much weight as most people that have had this surgery. Also, I think resistance training helps some.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!

      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!
