Camella 209 Posted September 8, 2013 I'm 10 weeks post op (down 45 lbs) and have started to notice that my breasts have relocated to a new position (you can assume that they haven't moved up my chest). I have also noticed that I have a little sagging in my arms and my belly looks like it did just after giving birth (deflated balloon). How soon after having surgery did you notice loose skin?

SleeveNZ 219 Posted September 8, 2013 I noticed it a lot more within 10lbs of my goal. Overall its not too bad though and I do believe its gradually firming up a bit more now. Strength training has helped a lot. *10 months out & at goal. 110lbs lost. 1 FRED1977 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoldyGirl 186 Posted September 8, 2013 my Skin SUX! 9months out and 1 lb from goal. I feel GREAT in Clothes, but naked is another story. I hope it firms up a bit. 1 FRED1977 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ashelaine 383 Posted September 8, 2013 I'm 6lbs from surgeons goal and 16 from mine. My skin isn't perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better than what I expected. I still want a Tummy Tuck (but I've had 2 kids and would probably need it just from them). 1 FRED1977 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's wonderful that you reached your goal in just nine months. Were you doing anything special or different, to keep loosing at a steady pace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ashelaine 383 Posted September 9, 2013 Did you work out a lot to avoid having so much skin. I could lie and say yes of course, but in all honesty no. I walk a lot and I'm a stay at home mom of 3 kids- so I'm running around a lot just with that. I just joined a gym last week . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SleeveNZ 219 Posted September 9, 2013 Here's mine after 110lbs lost and post baby. Pretty minimal on stomach - wee bit on arms and thighs but still tightening up. Boobs whole other story! But I think thats from breastfeeding more than anything. [ATTACH]18162[/ATTACH] 1 OBXgirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
