Has anyone else other than myself given thought to HGH to help with loose skin? I have some in my stomach region and thighs and have read up on HGH and looks to have great skin attributes.

it sounds worse than it is. I have considered it before, though not for loose skin. It is expensive, so not a decision to make lightly.

I've done a little research on it and it is highly expensive if you can't get a perscription for it. It will however help with loose skin and help create muscle. I think its better for older guys as it will help give them younger more elastic skin. My wife is a nurse and I've had her looking into it and I'm doing some more looking into it when I find time off of work. I'd rather do something non surgical for loose skin and this seems to be something that might be worth looking into.

never really thought about it... then again I'm thinking if I do a moderate amount of daily exercising and weight lifting that can help... correct me if I am wrong. Lolz although I wonder how one might get a prescription for that. What have you found out Andrew?

Havn't talked with a doctor yet about it. I've been on straight nights for a few monthes now. I've lost over 120 lbs and have some loose skin and even with running and weight lifting hasn't done anything about my thighs and stomach region. My arms however are very nice lol. I'm going to check into it and see what I can find out and if anyone else finds out some info please share.

It was discovered during my pre-screening for the band that my testosterone levels were 4x less than what they should be. I've since been prescribed and have been doing injectible testosterone every two weeks. We'll see how that helps...

keep me up to date on how that goes for you. I've found that just staying hydrated and doing my Protein shakes etc.. has been working out ok.

      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.
