Hey there guys it so hard to find younger people to talk to so I was so excited to find this forum. Does anyone feel being younger helps with the excess skin??

I am 29 and has the surgery in September of last year when I was 28....I have lost 117.8lbs and so far my skin is going back to normal. But now is the tough part, building muscle to keep the skin tight and lots of exercise. I still have a little over 80 more lbs to lose. But I can tell you this surgery is worth it. It changed my life and my health.

I'm not far out enough yet to know what my skin is going to do, but everyone says it helps :)

I often wonder as well I'm 28 years of age and often search you tube looking for people who started off at my size or around it to see what they look like.

The first is me at 364lbs second is me at 246.2lbs my legs have went back amazingly as well as my face and tummy. My problem area is my underarms. A lot of people in my group of September 2012 members are using wraps that are working wonders for their skin.

What kind of wraps?! I got a massage last week and the massage therapist sent me info on wraps called the ultimate body applicator and I saw before and after pics and its crazy how well it worked after only one wrap!

      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!
