Need some advice..non AAS

[mike351]

I know this'll probably get moved, but I wanted some traffic to get advice. Anyways, here goes...
I have a lot of loose skin on my stomach from a large weight loss that I had from highschool (went from 46 inch waist to a 34). Lately, i've been having thoughts about having a "tummy tuck" to remove the excess skin.
Here's where I'd like some advice. My friends say that they don't even notice the loose skin, my girlfriend says she could care less, and the cost of $8000 is scary enough. In a nutshell, it's something I want to do for myself as I can never be completely happy with the way I look shirtless with the skin issue.
Anyone have similar situations? What would you all do in the same situation?
Anyway, I'm off to the doctor to discuss the surgery, hopefully I'll have some responses when I return.

how long ago was this?

if your young your skin might still rebound

also you might want to look into hgh or igf... im not sure where but i think on one of the boards someone did an igf or hgh cycle and noticed his loose skin tightened up dramatically he the repeated this over a year and was happy..

if i find the board/post ill PM you

good luck

I would do surgery as the last option. Investigate other options first - GH is one of them as said above. But personally if I had something like that which I wasn't happy with - I'd get it sorted pretty much irrespective of cost. Better to be happy and broke

Is it definitely loose skin and not the last bit of fat?

Good luck and congrats on your fat loss.

the weight loss took place about 10 years ago. I do still have fat in the area, but it's definately mostly loose skin. When i bend over, it hangs and my belly button looks like an unhappy face.
i'm 26, bout to turn 27...i will look into gh as well, it's definately cheaper than the surgery
