lessofmeismore 1,405 Posted December 31, 2012 It's the price we pay for being heavy. The skin is stretched I totally hate my neck...ugh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lwilliams65 102 Posted December 31, 2012 I'm dying to know if anyone has ever just got lucky and their skin just bounced back?!?!? I know wishful thinking *sigh* does age have anything to do with it or is it just pretty much be fat or skinny and saggy? No fair! 1 Lisa'slosinit reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lessofmeismore 1,405 Posted December 31, 2012 I think if your young your good to go and shouldn't have a problem. I'm older so my skin doesn't have a lot of collagen. It sure makes me feel older than old I've seen lots and lots of gorgeous after photos of people looking great so its not everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well I'm only 22 so I'm hoping I get super lucky after surgery. I've been using gobs and gobs of cocoa butter lotion cos I read it's suppose to help. Again wishful thinking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish I had done this when I was younger! So happy for you!!!! *Blushing* Thank you! I don't feel very beautiful. I'm so nervous that I'll fail, I've failed at everything else.

lessofmeismore 1,405 Posted December 31, 2012 Thank you! You will be super successful, I look forward to hearing about all your success. I never could have done this without the surgery.

lessofmeismore 1,405 Posted December 31, 2012 It's too early now for you to do those exercises but after 6 to 8 weeks post op your physician should clear you for exercise. Right now walking is the best thing. 1 John Abraham reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twinsmama05 166 Posted December 31, 2012 I've lost 40 so far and feel like a empty bag. So I wear Spanx everyday. My neck is not bad but I'm going to get a neck fat toning wrap next Sunday. Maybe it will work maybe not. 2 prendaly and John Abraham reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prendaly 0 Posted January 9, 2013 That's awesome!!! I know of some people who have done bariatric surgery and have regain most if not all their weight back. That's not where I want to be... I rather have all the flabbiness... LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
