Strength Training and flabby thighs
I did not get my act together and work on strength training or working out after surgery. I regret this. I now need to work on tightening whatever I can and was advised to go for strength training. Have any of you done this with success to flabby area's? I need an acl and pcl repair on my right knee (part of the reason I didn't workout after surgery...too much weight and discomfort) so I will be working on this with caution.

I worked out religiously before, during, and after WLS.
My thighs are still flabby.
While mine are not as bad as some of the pics that I see of plastics candidates, they arent pretty either and I am embarrassed to wear a swimsuit.
There is only so much elasticity in skin. Working out HELPS but it doesn't necessarily undo the damage.
