Has Anyone Else Gone Through This Problem of Skin Hanging?



Recommended Posts

I am 1 month post opt from a Tummytuck with muscle repair, I was working out 2 hours each day for 7 days a week and could not tighten up that loose skin, my Tummy Tuck was done exactly 1 year and 1 month post opt . Good luck everyone .

Hi I have heard that after skin removal, if you gain any weight back it won't go to these area's? I heard it goes to area's that you might not want it to go. Does anyone know if this is true? I have a long ways to go but my arms are already really loose. I am almost 50 so i think my skin is older and may not go back as easy. Any information is helpful. thank you

from what I understand that only happens if you have liposuction. During liposuction they remove the fat cells too so the new weight goes to where the fat cells still exist.

      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.
