Has anyone else been doing this? Since my jawbone & neck started making an appearence again, I've Been going a little overboard on the skincare regimine. I've been all paranoid about the skin under my chin & neck and have literally bought 2 different types of Firming lotion, Anti Wrinkle cream and a lotion with an spf.... I DON'T WANT A TURKEY NECK!!! Who else?

I am constantly buying new beauty products for the face. I thought I saw some crows feet the other day around my eyes and I freaked out. I love showing off my collarbones and my shoulders now that they are slender.

So you are not abnormal :tongue2: Congrats on your weight loss !

Yeah that would suck! Go through all of this and have " turkey neck" I am not banded but am meeting with my Dr. in the morning to get the testing set up. i am worried about extra skin because im 285 and they want me down to 140!!! That's less than half lol.

Best of luck... can't wait to see what my collar bones look like :)

The jawbone is a beautiful sight!!!! The collarbone even better, though I've only seen mine in pictures, and when putting eyeliner on.. it's not noticable yet, but I feel it more prominantly now then before. This is so vein and shallow what I'm about to tell you so I appologize, Start now with the face & neck firming creams, because a lot of them claim to see results in 4 weeks (I use olay regenerist) So it will be part of your routine when your banded and start losing, and it will reduce the chances of a turkey neck, We're too Friggan young to have one!!!!:eek: BTW, Thats a realistic goal... They go by your height and what your "Ideal weight should be", My goal is 117lbs. But I'm my most comforable at like 125 (which I have been at before) For my height (4'11 3/4) I should be between 90-110lbs, YEAH RIGHT!!!! I'd look like E.T if I weighed that much. Just think about it this way, SO long as You look good, and you move from The fat girl section to the regular section and start shopping at stores you've never set foot in (and curse out all the skinny bitches that are shopping in there) Then your making progress....

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
