Excess Skin!

Those that have lost weight I’m after your advice and experiences.

I’m 40, and have recently lost weight. 30kg with the help of a dietitian. I started at 144kg a size 26, I’m 175cm tall. I’m now a size 20. My question is what have you done with the “apron” skin roll? It’s gotten so long and uncomfortable I feel it when I walk. My overall skin suit has gotten loose but this is the one area that really bothers me. The plan is to have skin removal surgery when I’ve lost more weight. I don’t wish to be slim but rather a size suitable for my lifestyle that I can maintain. I’ll also need to save for it.

But what do people do in the meantime? I haven’t found any shapewear that works. My belly skin just falls out the bottom sides. I’ve started taping my skin with kinesiology tape. It actually works but is slowly starting to irritate the skin and cause blisters.

Please help, it’s really starting to affect my self esteem. Exercise is becoming unbearable and uncomfortable.
