I am scheduled for surgery on 1/2/18. One thing that worries me is sagging skin; I know it’s vain. I am 62 years old and I am guessing there is not much elasticity left in my skin. Right now, at 225 pounds, people say I look a lot younger. I want to do everything possible to combat looking old. Has anyone tried dry brushing and if so, do you feel it helped? I look at all the amazing before/after photos and so many of you look absolutely fantastic and don’t appear to have skin sagging. Does anyone have any other advice on keeping skin in top shape? Thank you all in advance.

I dry brush and I love it! Really gets the lymphatic system going. It keeps the skin on my inner and outer thighs more firm. It does help with cellulite and if I'm retaining Water I just do a quick dry brush and that Water retention is gone. I also use Himalayan sea salt scrubs 3x a week during my showers and it works wonders. Definitely think you should give it try

Hi, what is dry brushing? I’ve never heard of this. Do you do it on your total body, what kind of brush? Thanks

It's a natural detox that also helps with skin tightening, cellulite and blood circulation. You use a soft but firm wooden hand brush. You start at your feet and work your way up to the heart. 2x a day and it works wonders for me.

Nothing is on the brush. You just start from your feet and move the brush in circular motions up towards your heart. I do all of my legs, tummy, buttocks and then start at my finger tips and move towards the center of my chest.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
