Ahhhhhhhh, Loose Skin Everywhere



Recommended Posts

Cheri, thanks for that information. I sure hope the next year is kind to me as I can definitely not afford plastics.

Would be nice to tighten it up some.

Thanks again :)

That's probably one of the reason they make you wait a year or more. I know my body readjusts itself. I have lost a pant size without losing weight at all.

I just thought the finger skin (yes, elephant knees is the perfect descriptor) was too funny. I'm glad that I'm not vain. It's just that the lower stomach show with tight, thin dresses. I hate Shapewear. Even the bras I wear are the really comfortable ones. My daughter tries to get me to wear Victoria Secret contrations, but I cannot tolerate them.

Im right there with you. I love the weightloss but hate the "naked" look. I feel like a starving elephant when I look in the mirror. My knuckles aren't saggy. May be due to my job. I work in an office when I type close to 7 hours a day. I can pull skin up on my fingers but its not noticeable. I've been going over my insurance website this morning - I read a year ago it covers skin removal after surgery but can't find it online now and they don't give out books anymore. :( Anyone else know?

      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?
