I don't think you ever get rid of it. Some people opt for surgery, I myself am just learning to deal with it. I wear compression gear under my clothes. It is a small price to pay but I don't miss my old self one bit.

It should be noted also that I am lifting weights, and doing cardio training like a man possessed.

I had a Tummy Tuck after losing all my weight with the lapband (had to get revised to bypass may 21) but I got a tummy tuck and honestly it was worth EVERY DAMN PENNY! Lol I loved not having to wear Spanx, having a flat tummy, no skin fold irritation and best thing looking decent in a bikini! Yes a bikini! It gave me so much confidence. It was less than the price of a new car and as my hubby says he will get many more miles out of me than some car lol! I suggest saving your penny's from all the $ you will save on food! :)

I just got some compression shirts from Walmart. The short sleve ones go for around $10 and the long sleve for $13. Much cheaper than online prices. I am thinking though about surgery to remove the skin. However, I an less than 6 months out and not sure when I qualify for that.

      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.
