Exercises For 3 Weeks Post Op?

[adamfishaa 139]

I had my surgery 11/20/13 and have already lost over 30lbs... I am starting to notice my belly hang a bit and get little dimples... what can I do to tighten my skin in that are that isn't too strenuous since I am barely starting to not feel any pain? I'm 18 by the way so I was told my skin would be more elastic and bounce back... haha

The only thing I dared to do 3 weeks out was walk. I gained a lot of distance in the 8 weeks after surgery but kept it slow and steady. I did not want to bust any staples/stitches. I am 47 and skin is an issue...I think at 18 you will be good. We all will have some kind of hanging skin somewhere but the benefits far outweigh the skin. Good luck to you and I will be motherly....be careful not to do too much/too soon. You have plenty of time to work on tightening everything up.

Be patient. The skin takes more time to tighten than it does to lose the weight. Just wait.
