SKIN ISSUES

HELLO EVERYONE I AM WAITING FOR A SURGERY DATE. I HAVE ONE CONCERN I WEIGH 265 LBS AND HAVE BIG FOR THE MAJORITY OF MY LIFE I'M SOOOO AFRAID OF LOOSE SKIN ANYBODY HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS BESIDES PLASTIC SURGERY?

The only thing I know that will help you besides plastic surgery is excersize. Start excersizing now. If you start excersizing now. it will help prepare you for surgery. It will help you tone up and it will be easier to get back to exercize after surgery too. Becky D.

Hi Becky thanks for you response. I think it's just nerves getting the best of me.

I am not crazy about the excess skin issue, but I sure will be happier with that than this fat I am carrying around now. I lost 100 pounds before and kept things firmed up. But everyone tells me its the rapid weight loss that causes the loose skin. Does working out help some though???? Just curious. Laura

I have extra skin and hope to get it taken care of in a few months/ I am lucky its only in my arms and legs. Not terrible but I am glad its all not filled out anymore lol. Its better then all the weight believe me

Hi Cindy, Thanks for the input I'm sure i will feel better to have the skin empty....lol I think it's just my nerves starting to take over thinking of all the things that could possibly go wrong.

There are two ways you can look at this,what can go wrong, and what WILL go right. You will have great success and remember how miserable you feel heavy and believeing how much fun it is to lose. I love it and I havent felt thin in 35 years, I only have 25lbs to goal. You will get there just know that.Cindy

Hi Laura, Thank you for responding. I think I will happier with the loose skin than the fat also...lol. I'm just getting nervous. I'm sure working out would help I'm just getting ready to start that so after surgery my body will be use to exercising.
