Whats the most most amount of skin you would allow yourself to have before you had a Tummy Tuck or panni? Would you rather use a wrap or would you want to go ahead and get that extra skin gone and be done with it? I have extra skin but friends and family say its fine and not to bother with it. I tried the wraps... i find them very unconfortable. I like to go shirtless in the summer but the same time am not too crazy about all the jiggly. Any men have a breast reduction??

Ultimately it is up to you. I think you look fine. If you feel uncomfortable and want it done then you should do whatever makes you happy. You have to live in your skin. Not anyone else.

Wow you look great. I personally do not see the extra skin... I do however see it on myself and in another year ... I am going to get a Tummy Tuck. So I agree... Do what makes you happy

I ended up getting a Tummy Tuck. I knew that no matter what I did the flab of skin hanging from my stomach was never going to shrink. Getting a tummy tuck was The Best decision. I am Soo happy now. I did wait several years to get a tummy tuck though. I wanted to be more than positive that I was never ever going to gain weight back. 4 years after surgery and I was still 115 lbs I knew I could handle it. Good luck in whatever you choose

I think you look great but if you don't feel that way is what matters. If you have the means to do so, think of it as a reward you DESERVE for accomplishing the weight loss and an investment in your self confidence.

I'm still 50 pounds to goal weight but plan on fixing my belly boobs and arms each year with tax returns.

In my eyes you look yummy. Handsome guy but you have to feel comfortable with your body. If you don't feel happy with loose skin then you should consider a Tummy Tuck or boob reduction. It depends on how you feel.

You really do look great. If you haven't already, you should post this in "The Man Room" post-op group so you can get more men's points of view. IMO you look fabulous now, so you'll look fabulous then. Do what makes you feel complete.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
