EDS ... Hyperelastic skin or sagging skin. Need some Weight Loss tips...

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Well, Hyperelastic skin is most often seen in the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

What do we know about EDS weight loss? I need to reduce my abdomen size in case

I

have a pelvis tumor -- again! Or might need other surgery in the future. My

abdomen now can be huge due to bloat, or flat & indented or whatever shape it

decides to be. It is my abdomen that has the most elastic " shape-sifting " skin.

I feel if I lose some weight/inches and get my belly toned, it would help in

my future diagnosis. Yet, for years now I cannot lose weight. Also, all of my

weight is in the " male " pattern, that is, in my stomach area. With EDS

however, I rotate through body shapes. So, I do not know my real shape. Me, not

bloated is very nice. After standing, however, things sag and bloat :-<.

As for my type of EDS skin. My legs have the stretchy spandex type skin with

stretch marks everywhere. My waist has the soft doughy rolls that hangs. My

hubby has named the three rolls. And, these rolls do not stay, they come and go

in cycles.

Any weight loss information would be appreciated especially about methods to

reduce the excess skin. Or do EDSers require tummy tucks? Caro with spandex

skin.
