Belly skin on a man



Recommended Posts

I have quite a large belly. Since my surgery one week ago though my wife has even noticed that it is getting smaller. I have already dropped from a 48 to a 46 waist jeans. My concern is just how much floppy skin will I have to deal with? My wife bought me some Vitamin E oil and wants me to rub it on my belly every night. I have to stay away from my sutures till they are healed and then I will rub the whole enchilada. Has anyone else tried this and if so did they have success?

Thanks Mark

I think it really just depends on your body. You may get some extra skin, you may not. Just keep up with the oil and lift weights.

I would guess it depends on the amount of elasticity in your skin. Some people's skin tightens up with exercise and others doesn't. When you are clear for exercise, I would start.

I have to wait one month before exercise. But I have already talked to the exercise physiologist and she will fix me up. I had a back fusion in 09 so a lot of lifting is out of the question. Hope they can help me out.
