Recommended Posts

I was sleeved in July.. Im down 120lbs and l feel great.. However l have an issue.. My skin is looser, and parts of me "jiggle" when l walk, jog, and workout at the gym.. The main problem areas are my upper legs (thighs) and my chest (man boobs)... Its sometimes embarrassing and makes me feel uncomfortable.. With it still being too soon for me to consider the skin removal, is there ANYTHING l can do to help the situation??

My doc told me to wait at least a year or two because your skin will adjust more and regroup.. but you have to do what makes you feel good about yourself.

Take care,

Compression clothing. Under armour shirts only do so much. M check out makemeheal.com. They have some interesting stuff for Tummy Tuck post ops. Heavy duty compression garments that will keep the lose parts contained.

Eventually, your man boobs will go away...keeping working out. The rest may not without surgery, but typically docs want you to wait at least a year. Depends on the doc I guess.

look up rash guard shirts.. You can wear them under your regular shits and they are sorta like compression clothing.

Under Armour has some great compression clothing. Kind of pricey, but well worth it in my opinion. My son gave me some of the pants and my legs feel so much better when I wear them for working out. It's like having a mini-massage with every step. I have some flabby(no muscle) thighs and the compression pants work great.

      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.
