Hi everyone!! I had my surgery on 12/1 and so far my progress has been really good. (I think) I have lost a little over 50lbs. As many of you have experence, I have a lot of loose skin forming. Anyone have suggestions on how to minimize it? I really dont want to have surgery to have it removed, so any suggestions would be awesome.

Good luck. Let us all know if you get a response with a solution. For now I'll keep on with my shape wear and tuck bits away

Congrats on your weight loss. We have about the same stats. I'm 5'5" started at 254 and I'm maintaining in the 130's.

Years on the forum, I have not seen anything/product that will minimize the amount of loose skin.Your age and how long you have been overweight will be factors.

Weight lifting can help fill out the skin. But not get rid of it.

I am beyond happy with my results. I can live without plastics. If I had the money I would have them. I use shape wear for the past 3 years. I tried several types to find ones that actually work.I also can hide it with clothing.

Some insurance companies help cover plastics if you have mobility issues and documented rashes.

My skin issues are livable.

      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?
