i lose 120lbs. so what up with the hang skin?

hello 2004 babies i have a question. what such i do about the hanging skin? what such i do in the gym that would help? i was 320 and now i weigth 200lbs. but i seen my pcp and he said that i wood need to have my breast done, some time in jan,2006. so that was find. but what about the rest of my body? i no that antea will not paid for my stomach. so i will not even try to get any letter to send to them from my doctor office. i will try to call some burn center to see what i can do. i hear if you give some of your skin that, it can be done for free. but i don't no about that. it been 8mths for me and i think things are going well. i went from a size 26 to some 16 to some 14 now. i love life and me. goodbye for now 2004 babies 320/289/256/223/ now 200 goal 160

Sorry to say that the burn units will not pay for your PS, it is an old myth. As for hanging skin, from what I understand, you can try creams, exercise and wraps, but you will need PS. Wraps will only work temporarily, and exercise will just help by filling in some of the skin with bulky muscles, which is not altogether a bad thing. Pam

hi april!! I have lost about 120 since my surgery in november. I joined the gym for a year. My first day there, I asked for an appointment with a personal trainer, which is free with my membership. I told my trainer about the surgery, and she showed me the routines to follow. I've gone from a size 32 to a 14 and I look great. No hanging, flabby skin...except for my yucky inner thighs, but I'm working on it. good luck!!! keep up the good work.
