Excess skin/Hanging skin/Complications with Sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I am new to this site and already love it. I work at an Urgent Care and was approached by a young woman who had this procedure done with amazing results. She told me her skin was very elastic and stretched back for the most part. I was wondering if any of you would like to comment on your situations with any excess skin you may have after surgery. Or any complcations for that matter!

I haven't had any real complications...a bit of a dehydration/nausea thing...but that's over, of course.

With my skin...as with a LOT of us the biggest problem is the ol' bat wings...I have been working with weights without much luck, as of yet. My stomach isn't too bad yet...but I still have a bit to go...and then we shall see :)

With my age, I have a lot of cottage cheese skin on my thighs...but I don't care... I am and feel like a functioning human being again...so the cottage cheese and bat wings are worth it :):lol: :D :P ;)

Well Im over fifty and so happy that I had VSG I've been losing up and down but overall losing slowly. Down 75 lbs in 9 months.

I think I need to stop saying that!! Getting ready for vacation and the dreaded bathing suit....droppy skin between the thighs looks awful and when I lay down with my knees bend as I will on a beach lounger the flab pools down resembling a big bottom vase. Everything is wiggly giggly.

But I have went from a 28/30 to a 18 so the hell with the flab I'm going on a jet ski for the first time to celebrate! I'm headed to a 100pound loss by years end. And I'll put my arm in the air and wave my bat wings like I don't care!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
