I will be having a Total Body lift (lower body lift, breast lift and arm lift). You may just need a lower body lift aka circumferential lift and they repair the muscle underneath when performing the procedure. You definately would be flat again. Mary

Hi Tyshea You've done really well. You look great. Training will help a little but but if you have a lot of loose skin PS is probably the only real cure unfortunately. Doesn't mean you have to stop training. Muscle gives your body shape. The only true way to change the actual shape of your body (not counting losing 150 pounds) is through weight training. Plus, it keeps you strong and healthy and makes every day life easier. Good luck.

Pricewise, I shop around alot. Ebay even has some deals, I just found the supplements very recently. Who da thought? I like the extra kick so get my motivation up. Like your signature "Do it because nobody else will". I gotta get my motivation from some where(because no one will lend me any) and just starting back up, I found some quick strength gains from the gakic and creatine and the likes gets me moving. So far so good, I tend to work out at all hours, my favorite is the 2a.m. shift, no crowds. But often end up at 24 hr fitness after my night shift job at 8am right in the middle of the morning rush. Joy. I am still trying to get my protein up to the recommended levels without pushing my carbs up too high. I don't like the shakes too much, just burnt out on em. I guess I am still kinda scared of food and keep flip flopping on how I wanna get the right nutrition to build muscle. I'll get it soon. Cya

I have been doing cardio, pilates, and weight training since 6 weeks after my WLS. I work out 4-5x a week. I was considered a light weight...I started at 39 BMI and I have lost 88 lbs!! I just had plastics surgery in March. Everyone has diiferent levels of elasticity of their skin! Mine not so elastic ....I was left with skin on my arms (bat wings) and wrinkling on my tummy (no a huge panni). I wore a size 36D bra...but believe me they were not perky. I also had slight wrinkling of my inner thighs. So I had a BL w/implants ( I am still a 36D but perky ), a brachioplasty, tummy tuck, and mini thigh lift!! Wow, know I feel look like I feel. Funny thing is with my clothes on I look exactly the same....no one has noticed my PS yeah!! So you hopefully you are more fortunate than me!!! ~Summer

Good morning chickie!... I do have some slight skin issues in my arms and legs... mostly arms.. I have noticed since I started weight training and working out ( 6-7 days a week) that the skin issues are NOT as bad. I know that I will have to have brachioplasty on my arms if I ever want them super tight and like they were prior to my weight gain years... but they are much more acceptable NOW than they were prior to my training. I do 3 days of heavy weight training a week PLUS cardio. Every other day is Cardio alone and two of those days are intense INTENSE cardio. My cardio training is either 1 hour or 1 1/2 to 2 hours long... 1 hour when I am lifting that day. One lifting day is Shoulders/legs next one is Chest/back and the third is Bi's/Tri's. I do muscle burnout with mid weights... normally 3 sets of anywhere from 30 to 50 reps. Last night on dumbbell flys alone I did 30 -30 -50... sheeeeee I'm feeling it today but I am seeing a MASSIVE difference ... and I AM under that guidance of a professional trainer/builder... I take supps out the wazooo... vitamins, Muscle Milk, Isopure, you name it. I'm on a schedule and I DO eat every 3 hours..... Hope this helps... Elizabeth~
