Question:
7 mo post op sagging skin
those of you post op has your skin tightened up eventually? I work out 5-7 x week on treadmill and with weights and still getting sagging skin, will this go away? — Amy H. (posted on January 24, 2004)

I ahte to say this... But I been working out since 1 month post op 1-2
times a day for 2-5 hours and I can tell you I have So much skin I could
make a person out of it! But mine has not left and people said since I am
23 it would! So I am sorry probably not.

Sorry, ladies, but exercise has no effect on sagging skin. It has to do
with elasticity of skin. <P>
I go to an electro-muscular stimulation salon, called Bailine, and I think
it helps. Water also helps, as do essential fatty acids, Dry Vit. E (400
mgs/day, more if *very* distal, but E is toxic), CoroMega (fish oil
supplement, emulsified so we can absorb it). CoroMega is available at
VitaLady.com. <P>
Time is the big one, tho . . . it can take as long as 2 years to shrink all
it's going to.

Ditto. I also worked out from one-month post-op on, including weights and
running. I have saggy skin over muscles. Which is better than saggy skin
over no muscle tone, I guess, but time seems to be the big healer. I've
noticed my skin has tightened up quite a bit in the seven months or so
since my weight finally stabilized, but I'll always have excess skin,
exercise or not.
