Guys, I am concerned about loose skin. Anyone had a slight issue with it and it ended up not so bad? Others, what are some things/exercises to help?

was sleeved March 9 down 40 lbs You are going to find that fat loss is not uniform, I now have chaffing in lower abdomen where upper abdomen folds over lower. need to use lots of ointment in that area. Was told by psych prior to procedure to let surgeon know so he can document that in his notes so insurance may pay down the line for cosmetic surgery later if needed

Im not sure I will have that problem....I just have one slightly beer/pot belly..so hopefully no overlapping. I hope with the documentation, the ins company will cover it down the line. Much success, hope to stay connected and update on each others progress.

Just a tip.. unscented spray on deodorant works amazing on those chaffing areas.. I've used it for years in the groin and under my tummy fold, especially in the summer.. e3e9f365580a78f753e3fb91fa87cdbe.jpg

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
