 But here is the clencher ladies...he had WLS like 7 years ago!    I guess thats why I was really surprised by his reactions, because he's dealt with this stuff.

Ah, ok. Hmm. Does he have skin issues? Did he fix them?

Lifting weights will help build muscle mass, but it will not firm up hanging skin.  No exercise, no supplements, no lotions or creams will do that.

Of course, if you do build muscle, you will have less excess skin.  But it won't make it go away.

My nurse told me that your body will re-absorb some of the fat cells and skin, but it's pretty much bound to happen.

If it makes you feel any better I am a guy and will find a way to get this apron removed, hopefully I can wrangle my insurance company into paying (if so I'll prolly spend the extra $$$ to get a full tummy tuck, i've been workin hard on these abs but they're still hidden lol), but will pay for the pann....whatever the belly removal is called out of pocket if I have to.

I think adding muscle mass will help fill up some skin (arms and legs) but mid-section...probably not.  Wife's down with it either way, she's been talking about some girl enhancement for a while...so she's probably hedging her own wants :).

I would wait til a year or year and a half out and see what's what then.  In the meantime enjoy dissolving week by week :)
