NO way of knowing until it's happening. There isn't much to do to prevent it either. Folks try lotions etc but, in the end if you're skin is going to do it, it will. I concentrate more on getting healthy and reaching my weight goal. Once there I'll decide to go with plastics or not....it's yet another major surgery. A friend of mine chose not to have the access skin removed...she said it's a reminder of where she came from. :)

I'm 21 and had the gastric bypass 6/11/12 (I was 20) and just after 4 months I've lost 72lbs from my surgery weight of 263 (I'm 5'8")

Yeah I'm starting to get loose skin on my lower stomach... praying it tightens back up though. Idk I still have at least another 50lbs to lose

I'm 25 and had GB on 7/17. I was 247lbs and I am currently 180lbs (maybe a little less) I still have 40-45 lbs to go but overall I feel great.

I do have minor skin sagging in my lower quad area but nothing too major yet.

Hi Lebim,

Did you exercise during the first 4 months? How many calories did/do you eat a day? What are some of the foods you eat?

I am 1 month post-op and just a little worry about the weight coming off so slow. I'm hoping it will pick up again.

Thanks

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
