Excess Skin (Flab)

I am 5 1/2 month post-op and continue to be amazed with how successful this has been. I feel better and have more energy than I have had at any point in my life. So far, I have lost 85 pounds which puts me about 40 pounds away from my goal. The only issue I have now is excess skin, especially around where my belly used to be. I am working out 3 times per week doing aerobic exercise and weights. Just curious about experience from other guys who have gone through this before or have the same problem. Is this a matter of more exercise, will it eventually go away or am I looking at plastic surgery? Lance

Lance, There’s about a 6 month "lag" of the skin drawing up After the weight has stabilized. A lot of different variables figure into it.

(Ah….2nd thought, see Post Above.) Best Wishes- Dx

hey Brian you were not a super heavy weight....you will be able to tell more in about a year....hit the gym and the uppper body a little....and it lifts some of the stuff on the belly russ
