I also wonder if those people are eating properly, taking their

vitamins and such?

, That is one of the things you surgeon should talk to you about. As you

lose weight your skin will most likely stay stretched. Now some of it make

shrink back but don't count on it. That's were plastic surgery comes in. Now

that may be tougher to get your insurance to pay for than the WLS.

Hey What d' ya know...I finally am able to post....i weeded through 200 pcs.

of mail last night (almost midnight!) YIKES.

Anyhoo..I have an opinion on this " aging " thing. Dawn you will probobly agree

here..but lets see. EVERYTHING WE DO TO OUR BODIES...afects our hair, skin

and nails. If we eat bad....do drugs....whatever...it affects our skin and

hair. So you must help your skin and hair out.....You must use a good

moisturising lotion on your face to deminish any fine wrinkling....(even if

you smear it on 5 times a day)....and we all know that when you loose a lot

of weight...you skin is left wrinkling, not to mention dry as a cracker!....I

have been the palest person since last June....but I didnt get a chance to

get out in the sun last year at all....(complications etc.)......so now that

spring is here...I am out as much as possible...soaking in a few rays...and I

actually think I have some color! the wrinkles on my face arent as bad as

they use to be...so the lotions have helped. Also another thing I find

important....(Diane and I were just discussing this).....I dont wear makeup

unless I am going to work...or to a function....I let my face breathe on my

days off....if I am running to the store...i slap on some eyeliner...maybe

some colorstay lipstick...but that is it.

Sorry its so long...just my two cents worth!

Carla,

I do agree and yes we did discuss this. I work M-F and I don't wear makeup

on the weekends unless I'm going out. I have been going to the tanning

salon and now when I do wear makeup, it's only on my eyes and lips. I don't

like clogging the pores more than needed.

So, if anyone ever sees me on the weekends, don't think I didn't get all

gussied up for you, I'm just letting my face breathe.

Diane

Carla,

You're absolutely right. I learned all the pro's and con's of dieting while

in school, flipping through my Anatomy books, and YES..EVERYTHING we put in

our mouths has some sort of an effect on the body, whether hair, skin, nails

etc.

I learned a great deal today about things like this, and will post a LONG

note to the board shortly. I don't have time now, but will be letting you

all know some very interesting factors related to weight loss and the

effects on the body.
