Near Goal?? -- Itcy & 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!!!! Jonathan itch free and alive in 2005! 425/365/219/185 ..............^......

Hi there handsome (just being friendly) Iam so happy for you in many ways. 1) Congrats on your successful weight loss. Can you tell me what you did to get rid of your cravings for junkfood? 2) Sound like that Nike suit makes you feel sexy. Iam happy that you can look good and feel good about what you are wear because I sure cant and... 3) Iam Glad to know that your not itching and scratching any more. What a relief I will like to get the VSG but Iam scared I might out eat it. Can you tell me some of your secrets of success please How did you lose all that weight? Sherese

Sounds like a wonderful product. Thanks for the tip. I am sorry to hear that the Body Armor does not work for belly flab (as I have plenty of it). I am seriously going to be looking into a tummy tuck after I lose 30-50 more pounds. Congratulations on your successful weightloss. Sharon 340/210/170 .......^........
