I gotta say, that is the first time I've heard it called that! Had me rolling off my chair! Not sure what can be done, how long ago did you have your surgery? Are you looking into plastic surgery? I went to a support group meeting here locally last night, where a plastic surgeon spoke to our group. There are a number of options available (most of which insurance will NOT cover), and they are pricey (they started at about 5K to around 13K). There is one for arms (I think it is called bracchioplasty), and it will leave a long scar. Then there are body lifts, and others specifically for the lower torso. If you have a support group where you are, suggest having a plastic surgeon come and speak, it is very informative. There is liposuction, which may help with the newly "fashionable" cottage cheese look! I wish you all the best with this!

Oh my... Yea tried to fill that extra skin up with muscle only helped a bit. Moisturized and Vitamin E and all those things didn't seem to help much at all.

It's mostly genes and age. And plastic surgery.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
