One common concern regarding weight loss, especially losing a large amount in a short amount of time as you can with Cambridge, is excess skin.
Most people have heard that if you lose the weight fast you will be left with a saggy tummy or “batwing”
arms. With the large number of people who have had gastric surgery in the past few years, plastic surgeons are being buried alive in patients who need body lifts or various parts tucked and tightened. The rapid weight loss is blamed.
This is false. It doesn’t matter in the least how fast or slow you lose your weight as far as redundant skin is concerned. The damage to your skin that causes this problem was done long before the weight loss occurred. It is due to the excess weight that your skin was required to accommodate.
Skin is elastic…to a point. It has an amazing ability to stretch and that can be seen in something as simple as a pregnant belly and as extreme as a 1,000 pound man.
Unfortunately, it can stretch, but not fully recover from such a demand; and like a balloon that has been inflated for a period of time, it can never return to its original size and shape. It wouldn’t matter if you deflated that balloon in 5 seconds or 5 days, it will still be stretched out.
The damage has already been done.
Gastric bypass patients have the added disadvantage of losing their weight through malnutrition and malabsorbtion.
Because of this, they are denying their body what is needed for normal repair and rebuilding so their post weight loss results can be very disturbing.
Large amounts of connective tissue as well as muscle and even some bone is lost with the effects of surgery and that shows in their final result. Cambridge users however, will enjoy all the benefits of complete balanced nutrition so their bodies are being supported in their efforts to restore and rebuild.
Good muscle tone, vibrant complexions and clear bright eyes are what they see in the mirror. Of course, there is still the possibility of redundant skin that may need correction if you choose, but not anywhere near to the extent as Weight Loss Surgery
(WLS) patients encounter.
So what is the truth about saggy skin? Lose the weight fast or slow, your excess skin condition is already established. You can improve your odds though by giving your body all it needs and you can find that in Cambridge.
