Pannus Sabatoging weight loss

Jan 17, 2011

I am new to this forum, I have been reading the main forum however I see so many cruel remarks and so much negativity that I don't want to put myself out there. I ran across this forum and read a few posts, this is where I belong, everyone seems very kind and caring, and I am a lightweight, my highest weight was 256, on the day of surgery I was 234lbs. I am now at 180lbs. I am feeling very good about myself. I have some issues at time with getting enough protein in and remembering to take my vitamins. My problem is and I am wondering if any of you have had this problem? What can I do about my excess skin? I went shopping last Saturday to buy myself some jeans. I tried on a 14, the jeans fit everywhere except at the tummy, the hanging skin was just too much. So I bought the 16s!! Wow what a disappointment! I think this skin issue is sabotaging my size. I am shrinking everywhere else, I was wearing size 3-4x in shirts now I am in a large and depending how it is made an xlarge. I am quite busty. Anyway if any of you can offer any advice as to what I can do to control this flab until I am able to get Plastics I will sincerely appreciate it. I have my 6 month check up this month and I am thinking that I might talk to my surgeon to see if I can have the Pannus removed and go back in a year for a tummy tuck. Well thanks all!
