loose skin after TT

I will be 6 months post op from ETT.  Since my swelling has gone down why am I getting loose skin now?  Depressing!!!

Have you lost more weight after your TT? if so how much? What does your surgeon say about that , i would make sure to ask if you havent already.

 My doc told me upfront that skin laxity in MWL patients is a sad fact of life and can continue to plague us for the rest of our lives.  He warned me that my body was going to look its flattest and tightest for the first 6 to 9 months (the period he called a honeymoon phase) and then I could have some skin relaxation again and some looseness.

I have no idea if that is what is happening to you.  I am trying to prepare myself mentally for the change that might happen to my new flat stomach after my honeymoon phase.  My doc assured me that any looseness that might happen would be nothing like what was there before the surgery.

Maybe chat with your doc and see if this could be the case with you or if it something else?  Even if you can't get an appointment or dont want to set one up -maybe email some pics for some professional feedback?

How did your thigh lift go?

I am looking forward to the laxity .. as this point its hard for me to turn over in bed without feeling like a puppet on strings..

I plan to loose another 10 pounds and get physically fit again once my iron get into the normal range.

Dont loose heart, you can hit the gym hard and improve the muscle toning underneath..
