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?

I have bcbs but mine is medi pac advantage bcbs in arkansas too

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
