  1. I am concerned about excess skin after weight loss. I need to lose 90 lbs. - can someone tell me how you deal with it and what to do, if anything?

      with only 90 lbs to lose it may not be an issue for you.  when I was banded more than a decade ago I didn't have a skin issue.  This time around i will because I gained even more weight, am older, had a baby etc.   am down about 80 lbs.  still not an issue but I have 30-40 to go and i can see that i may have loose skin then above my c-section scar.  at this point I am not going to worry about it. I may look into a tummy tuck...may not, will not worry about it until I ge there.

      I have 100 to lose, I could do 90 and be fine too, which is probably most like it.  I don't think I'll have an issue too much, BUT age, body composition, whether you smoke or not, drink or not, had C-sections or not, and (in my opinion) even skin tone/color makes a difference--your genetics so to speak.  With that said, I'm just gonna roll with it.  If I need a tuck and lift down the road, than I'll get it; but at least I'll be healthy.
