Excess skin in younger RNY.



Recommended Posts

Hey, I'm 21, I'm having my surgery soon. I've looked in to pretty much every problem that happens after RNY, but the one thing I haven't found is the excess skin on younger people.

If anyone has pics or could describe their excess skin, or what they did to prevent it please spread the information.

Thank you. ;)

I turned 27 in February had surgery May 7, 2012. At my heaviest I was 360lbs. So goin in to surgery I knew I'd have extra skin no matter how much toning and arm workouts I do. But the do help. I'm down 140 pounds. Still 220lbs. My arms Have the bat wings... I no longer do a cap sleeve :-) the body part that bothers me most no one sees and that's my inner thighs. My tummy has loose skins. I say it looks like a had a baby but I haven't :-) I do plan on eventually having plastic surgery farther down the road. But right now I can live with it :-D I say if rather have extra skin then the extra weight :-) life is so much sweeter

:-)

My surgeon said there is nada we can do to avoid excess skin no cream exercise. You either live with it or have plastic surgery to remove it. Exercise is good though it makes you feel good but won't put the skin back on your body.

I'm nervous about the excess skin as well, and losing what boobs I do have haha. I would be happy if I were a full C pre-op! nope, i'm all butt. I could wear a B, but wearing a C makes me feel better about myself :P

      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.
