I had my VSG in 2015..never got down below 172 which I think my body although on the short side is comfortable at. I was 65 yo at the time. What would be the chances of some plastics at my age? I have a terrible "apron" that gets rashes and smelly under belly and breasts...have those flaps that keep waving bye in upper arms.. At my age, the elastin and collagen are depleted and I know that the skin won't bounce back on its own.. Health is pretty good so that wouldn't be a negative factor. Any suggestions other than shapewear??
Someone very kind messaged me and gave a referral to a surgeon who is not just close but specializes in WLS patients. I have an appointment with him next month. It was the soonest they could get me in...

I was worried too and glad that you do not have a hernia.

I spoke to my PS today and he said that the spasms aren't due to overtraining and I can train without concern. He also checked that I don't have a hernia. Apparently the spasming portion of the muscle is just tighter. I guess I won't worry at the moment.

Sometimes the muscle cramps so bad that it sticks out from my abdomen. Looks a little like a fetus foot kicking out from a pregnant mom's belly!

Let me know what he says because people look at me funny when I ask if it happens to them too!

I'm about 11 years out from my TT and still get them today. Really has nothing to do with exercise in my experience. Just the weird random movement but sometimes when stretching after a workout and would say it's a charley horse.
Thanks Erin. I know you've done some hard training post PS so I wondered if you ever had this.
Yeah, sometimes it happens when I'm going to the bathroom and it doesn't seem to happen only after hard ab training. In fact post PS I've only worked my abs directly 2-3 days a week, never more than that. I've also not been doing as many exercises or reps/sets as I did at first, so this is really odd to me.
I have my year followup with the surgeon today and it will definitely be on my agenda to discuss.

Yes. I posted about this awhile ago. I stopped getting them maybe 2-3 months ago and I'm over a year post op. I'm not sure their 100% gone but I haven't done much ab work lately, as I've mostly been running. For awhile I was getting them when I went to the bathroom which was pretty horrible!

I had a lot of muscle repair and never experienced anything like that. I think it is worth mentioning to a doctor.
