Pain from flabby skin over hips/thighs

[kscdvm 78]

I searched but didn't find any previous posts so here goes. Maybe I'm just odd.

I had surgery 6 1/2 months ago. I'm about 20 lbs from my goal. I have always been pear shaped and now I have extra skin over my hips and thighs in the saddle bag area. Not a surprise.

The shock is that when I sit and twist a certain way, it must fold the extra skin on itself and pinch. It is extremely painful in almost a cry out loud sort of way. It has been going on for a couple of weeks.

Has anyone else experienced this? I wasn't sure how I felt about plastic surgery but I can't fear sitting down for the rest of my life either.

Oooooh....that sounds really uncomfortable. My sypmathies.

I can't relate, mostly because I have only lost eight pounds so far! LOL But I think you could make a damn good case for insurance-covered plastic surgery.

In the meantime, wear Spanx! I have been experiencing similar pain from what I'm guessing is the skin pulling down on my belly. I wear the Spanx for support more than for looks & it REALLY helps!

If you go to target, the maker of spanks carries a line called Assets. They are cheaper but work just as well. There is a full line of brief, shapers, shaper tops etc, I swear by their panty hose. Holds everything in nicely.

Thanks. I will have to give it a try. It is certainly a learning curve and great to have people you can ask for advise.
