over 50 & worried about sagging skin

By marvelous144

· 197 views

I am new to this blog and blogging in general so excuse me if I sound goofy.

A little history about myself, I am 52, 5' 1" & weigh currently 215 lbs. I too have been heavy all of my life. There has been many different diets in my life and definate weight losses but I am never able to stick with it and keep the weight off. That is the reason I am wanting surgery. I have had many concerns & questions and have found alot of answers here, however I'm not seeing anything about sagging skin after the weight loss.

Can anyone tell me about that? It really scares me & my Husband is not so crazy about the idea either.

Thanks for any comments!

    :unsure: Well, I can't say for sure, but there is a gal on youtube "gastricsleevereviews" that started at 209 and was at 124 8 months later. She doesn't look like she has any sagging skin and even though she is younger - just start slathering yourself with lotion in the mornings after your shower. It has helped my 56 year old bod more than I would have thought.

    I am getting sleeved Sep 2 because I NNED to live longer to play with my grandbabies...and I'm pre-diabetic and hate to go places because I feel FAT. So do it for yourself...make the famous list of 12 things you can't do now but that you WILL be able to do when you are 60 or 80 pounds thinner. Good luck. Reb
