I had my sleeve surgery Dec 18th.... I have loss about 15lbs and I'm noticing my skin becoming flabby. My face doesn't feel as firm. Does anyone have suggestions? Has anyone else encounter this same issue?

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!

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.

I'm sorry :( I bet you are beautiful! 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 :)

*Blushing* Thank you! I don't feel very beautiful. I'm so nervous that I'll fail, I've failed at everything else. But you yourself losing 88 pounds is a huge inspiration to me so thank you!!! I am blessed by your accomplishment.

You will be super successful, I look forward to hearing about all your success.

I never could have done this without the surgery. It gave me my life back and I'm so thankful. :)

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. :)

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.

      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.
