Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass |  It's a doozy!! dont laugh!!!
So we all have so many questions about the loose skin, which I think we all know, we will all have it...we will lose the weight too quickly to let our skin shrink up. However, my wheels are turning and I'm wondering...what if with our exercise... at night, we were to wrap our arms...legs, tummy area with ace bandages or something to keep it tight after lotioning up with some vitamin e or something. I heard about celebs using plastic wrap on their arms when dieting to keep things firm, so I was wondering about this little idea? Has anyone tried just ridiculous things and found that it may or may not help with the situation?? Just curious! I know, youre laughing arent you!!!

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

lol, Have never heard that theory before.... Those that are young, have a much greater success in getting that skin more tight then those who are older, the elasticity just is shot, Ya, when you do see shows that are like biggest loser, you have to remember, they are really pushing their workouts everyday.

I agree with the rest. When you are younger you have a greater chance of skin shrinking while you lose but as for most of us that are older, only thing is going to help with that is surgery.
