wear loose clothes - and depending on where the skin is, long-ish tops (like tunic length)

You and I have the same surgery date. June 7th. I am both excited and nervous, although the nervous part may just be hunger pangs as a result of the pre op liquid diet

I just instantly knew that I would be in good hands when I meant my surgeon and his team. I had done my research beforehand and once I met them all I felt good about my choices.

Topic: RE: So my question is how you deal with your excess skin

The only thing you can do other than learning to live with it, is to have plastic surgery to have it removed. Considering how much excess skin you would have from being so big, I would think your health insurance would pay for at least one surgery to have at least your pannus (hanging belly) removed as it can be a health issue. Check with your insurance. And congrats on the 200 lb loss!!

Topic: RE: Skin Care

I'm 42 years old and this has to be the best moisturizer I've ever used. I'm completely hooked after a week. My skin has been drier now that I'm getting older and nothing helped. I've tried low end and high end moisturizers and they just sit on the top of the skin. This truly penetrates the skin and makes it so smooth. I'll be ordering this over and over again. I hope the formula never changes.
