Guest guest Posted May 17, 2000 Report Share Posted May 17, 2000 When I asked one of my contacts about loose skin she said " Honey, I am a 42 long " . She told me she made a big mistake and didn't exercise at all for several months after the surgery. She hopes she will tone up now that she has started to.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2000 Report Share Posted June 1, 2000 Hi Guys: The other night when we had our dinner with pre and post ops, I got the real skinny on the skin thing. The answer is simply, some folks will tighten up, some will tighten up some and some will have hanging skin. I believe I will be in the hanging skin club and do not plan to have any surgical remedies. Rexanne looks wonderful. She is very tight, had on a fairly short skirt and her arms and legs make her appear as a person who has never had a weight problem. I would describe her as a sexy woman. I am of the frump category and I admire her look! Yet I saw her " fat picture " and she was indeed a very heavy person. She has a regular skin regimen that she uses. She can fill you in on what if any exercise she does. I think Rexanne just has good skin. There were others who were going to have some loose skin but not bad and still others like me for whom tight skin isn't even a thought...it's just not going to happen. I wish I wasn't one but I am. I'm 57 and have been overweight since I was 7 or 8 years old and even though I'm " all filled out " now, I still have a lot of loose skin. My family gave me a great heart and lungs, and many other health blessings but they gave me lousy hair and lousy skin. I can live with loose skin as long as I get to live longer and I believe I have the best chance of that as a thinner person. No Barbie illusions here but if Barbie is what you want...hey gang...life is short, you gotta go for what you want out of life. It's not a dress rehearsal...this is the only one we get. Everyone you talk to will offer you a different answer because there are as many answers as their are patients. I do, however, plan to check back with Rexanne and to follow what she is doing..it won't make me look like her but it may make my loose skin better than it would be if I did nothing. And it sure won't hurt anything to pamper myself a little. Heaven knows that's a unique concept. This surgery is not a panacea. This is not a complete cure. This is a hefty tool. I couldn't do it without the help this surgery will now give me. Some can, some can't. I'm realistic. At 57, I want the years I have left to be ones in which I can walk and not have to survey every chair before I sit. I'm not glad but I'm ok with the loose skin I'm going to have. But if you aren't going to be satisfied, there are surgical remedies to take care of that! Go get 'em! Life is short...enjoy the hell out of it!
