Topic: Near Goal?? - Itchy & Scratchy
Well anyone who is getting near goal, Knows the pain and itch that the hanging skin is causing you (and me) I have been to Doctors, and dermotologists, trying differant creams, lotions, meds..
and nothing has worked... UNTILL
My plastic surgeon suggested I try a "restricting" garment
(the things worn after surgery to keep the area from being stressed)
Also called a 'binder" - I did some research, and spoke with a company
and told them of my 'special' needs to be able to run with it, and
I needed something that would breath as well as wick sweat off my skin
They suggested a Product called "Body Armor" by Nike.
I bought some (It looks like a shirt a size 3 would have to snuggle into)
BUT It fits REALLY well around my XL frame, and is ABSOLUTLY
comfy!!! - The side effect is THE RASHES AND ITCHING HAS DISAPPEARED!!!!!!!!!! - it seems by binding the flab, it is seperating the hanging skin from the other skin, adding a air barrier, as well as wicking any moisture away. IT IS THE FIRST TIME IN 8 MONTHS I HAVE NOT ITCHED around my chest!!!!!! - Now if I can find something for my belly!!!!

Topic: RE: SURGERY TUESDAY, SCARED!
Hi Geneine and Barb,
You are most welcome for the insight into what you are about to embark on. I completely understand about the comprehension and fear going into this surgery. My hubby and I shared enough tears prior to surgery and some afterwards but so far i'm doing just fine. I was suppose to have my first post-op appt last thursday but had to reschedule for this week. So I still don't know how much i've lost this far i'm 16 days out now so hopefully it'll be a good number;) I've been blessed i've had no complications thus far no nausea, no 
. Still trying to get in my liquids amd protein though. Do expect to be sore and at first gassy I used the baby gas drops they helped tremendously and now gas isn't such a problem. Just remember where your headed and how much better you'll feel lighter. I wish you both the best and i'll send up a prayer that both of you will have an uneventful surgery like mine and that your recovery will be just as smoothe. God bless you both and if you need to talk you can email me with anything.

Dear Kriss, THANK YOU SO MUCH, that helped. I am scared but describing to me step by step helps. I have a 15 year old daughter and she has been crying, she thinks something bad is going to happen to me so that is making me nervous.
Thank you for replying and I will keep you posted.
