Hanging skin

[Dashofpixiedust8 1,469]

So I had my surgery on 5/27. When I started this journey I weighed 540 pounds. At the surgery date I weighed 480. And now I weigh 372. I think I'm starting to get some hanging skin but I'm not sure.

The one side of my stomach hangs a lot lower than my other side. Has that happened to any of you that one side of your stomach hanged lower than your other side?

It's very annoying and I'm still like 170 pounds from my goal weight. I'm worried it will give me issues even before I get to goal weight...

Do you have any input?

Sounds like you need to see a plastic surgeon especially if you are getting broken skin or rashes under your areas of loose skin. Sometimes treating this is not considered cosmetic surgery.

I have noticed with my weight loss that as my body is rebalancing itself between drops in weight, that I do have a little more hanging on one side than the other. I have never had that before. It doesn't seem to get continuously worse, because it's like in between or every 15 to 20 pounds my body tends to stall and rebalance

I know I will once I reach goal but unfortunately I'm still pretty far away from that! Still about 170-200 pounds away

I'm glad to hear of someone else experiencing this (not glad it happens but glad I'm not alone ). I hope my body rebalances out!
