I'M MELTING I'M MELTING !!!

People, hope all of you are doing well on your journies. Ok, I have now lost 90 lbs 70 since the surgery 20 before. Any how, as I'm melting away I am noticing that I am starting to SAG ! HELLO !! Somebody PLEASE tell me there is something I can do about this ? JUST DAMN ! Any ideas anyone ? Any tips ? Anybody ? Thanks Julian

Hi Julian, First congrats on your weight loss!! Your doing wonderfully! Unfortunately, sagging is one of the things most everyone has to deal at some degree or another with this surgery. I know how you feel, I asked my surgeon if I could start doing crunches and he said YES, which I was THRILLED about! I know I may not be able to help all of it, but plastic surgery after I lose everything will do the rest!! LOL! I must be honest though, if the only thing I have left after I lose all this weight is skin, Im grateful. This surgery has been a blessing and I havent had any complaints or complications. Be well, Dee~

Hey Julian!! Congrats on the weight loss!!! It is so wonderful to see the progress everyone it having. I have lost 50 as of my 2 month anniversary and I knew there would be a little saggage, I am doing everything I can to try to prevent it!! While I cannot say for sure that it is a fool proof method, I have been religiously using 2 different lotions since the week after surgery and I have noticed a difference. Even with 50 pounds gone, my skin is still pretty smooth and there isn't as much wrinkling and elephand skin syndrome. When I get out of the shower, I put the Nivia skin reshaping cream on the BIG trouble areas (outside thigh and abdomen) and then I put the Nivia skin firming lotion everywhere else. My husband laughs at me but my skin is holding tight so far and I am getting all of my water in and then some. Just a suggestion. (and I do not work for Nivia, but I do believe in their products) Ha-Ha!! Best of luck to you and congrats again on your loss Bryna

I have lost 58 pounds since Jan, 40 since surgery. Maybe because I am losing much slower, I have not had any major problems with sagging skin. I am working out at Curves 3-4 times a week. And, of course, lots of walking, mostly while shopping for new clothes. I am shrinking rather quickly - size 20 to 14 (loose) pants in 7 weeks. I do butt crunches every night and my butt is really shrinking!! Just wish the pounds would go down, too. Judy I am getting rather big bat wings, though. Not much I can do for that.
