Wondering About Body Parts Sagging.

[CJ's mom 28]

A couple of weeks ago I started using It Works body wraps and defining gel. I'm not quite 2 1/2 months post op and have lost almost 45 lbs. I worry about sagging skin so I'm going to use the It Works products throughout my journey. Skin on my chest has already tightened and with my first stomach wrap' date=' I lost 7 inches total.[/quote']

What is this and where do you get it?

They are seaweed wraps that are supposed to shrink skin

Yes, I do feel they are working for me and plan on using them throughout the weight loss. I refuse to have plastic surgery done once I reach my goal so the It Works products, along with exercise, will be the only things I have to help with this saggy process. My age and genetic makeup are not in my favor, plus the fact that I've been obese for more than half my life, let me know that I will not have a rock hard bod when all is said and done but I'm okay with that.

Your down 45lbs and it's only been two months?? I think that is awesome' date=' and I know that we will all deal with sagging. Just take it in stride at least your healthier and will have more energy well at least that's all I care about[/quote']

No 45 lbs since the seminar which was at the end of June. I started on the south beach, lost 20 lbs and then I was sleeved oct 10

I'm two week out and started to really get serious about exercise. I know that the days of perky parts are long gone. But I'll be darned if I'm gonna let myself get that ball-in-a-sock look up top. Right now, I'm starting extremely low weight workouts to help the chest & side boob area.

I never thought about the hoo-ha! Ha! I was just looking forward to the day I can see that part again without using the mirror. Not sure of an exercise to help sagging there.

I am 110 lbs down and can say saggage is a big thing right now. I had DD's (nice one if I may add). Now a very saggy small C. Those won't change without surgery. Now for the rest of me... yes. I sag lol. But I have been big for almost 20 years. Butt sags, belly sags, thighs sag, and arms sag.

I have worked out since 3 months before surgery. But I think like this. First, it takes 2 years for your skin to shrink where its going to. Second, a size 24 to a size 9 or 10 in 7 months... what do I expect lol. It's worth ever sagging body part

My understanding is that no amount of exercise will be able to allow us to avoid the sagging of the breasts, my mother lost more than 100 lbs. doing Adkins, and worked out like a fiend (she still does to this day) but her breasts sadly were like tube socks with change in them (her words not mine!) She said she would never have surgery until one morning she said she was sitting in her recliner drinking coffee and reading the paper when the dog jumped up on her. She yelled in pain as he was sitting right on her boob, she looked down...and the dog was in her lap. She tells the story now and laughs, she ended up having a lift and a fill. When she had a Tummy Tuck last year, I had researched it for her, and she also had her pubis mons Lipo suctioned at the same time which got rid of the 'lump' she had remaining, and since that area was pulled up to meet with her new tummy skin, she said her 'sagging' down there has greatly improved also. Surgery is a personal choice for everyone, but the good news is if you are self concious after your weight loss, there are solutions. My mother is 56, and had a triple by pass also. She had her surgeries after her bypass, and pulled through great on them. So in my opinion, regardless of your age or past, just like with the sleeve, if you want a solution, you can find it one way or another! Good luck to all of you, and I will also be doing wraps throughout my journey

I'm also worried about the sagging! But has anyone noticed there fat changing? My fat feels squishy like my belly did after I had my babies...lol

Anyone else have squishy fat? Or will admit to it...lol

I do! My arms and thighs and tummy feel more squishy, like grandma arm skin... I guess its still better than what it was before

I am just curious if anyone else has noticed that they are losing fat unevenly? I noticed that my lower abdominal area is uneven. One side has more fat than the other! I'm hoping that will change. Anyone else have that problem before? Btw I am 5 mo out and down 74 lbs.
