Anyone NOT get loose skin after 90 pounds of weight loss ?



Recommended Posts

How did you do it .... Kill yourself working out with weights ?

Any chance some people might not get the Loose skin problem ?

Just can't imagine having to get a surgery to remove it all when the time comes ... Trying to avoid it.

Anyone with experience here ?

Skin issues/results depend on age, amount of weight lost and the amount of time being overweight. The younger you are when losing weight, the better the results will be. People touting special creams and other amazing items are usually fooling themselves (and those they sucker into buying such items). Once your body has been abused by being overweight for extreme amounts of time, it just cannot bounce back. That is just reality.

Yes! Zero loose skin. 92 pounds to be exact. But my goal weight was very modest. I'm a size 10-12, medium, some larges. But I'm thrilled to be average. I didn't work out at all in my weight loss stage either.... I am working on it now for health reasons.

I haven't lost 90, but have lost 60lbs in 6 months and am about 25lbs from goal. I don't have very much loose skin at all, but I notice that when I am in a stall for a little bit, that seems to be when the inches drop and my skin tightens up a bit. So, I'm ok with the slower loss than some because everything seems to tighten up in between. I am working out with barbells and bands, but only at home and not at a gym. Just when I get home at night, nothing major.

      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?
