For people who already had surgery is there anyway to prevent loose skin or does it just come with loosing weight so quickly. is there certain exercises that can be done to prevent it, or at least help a little. I’m mostly worried about my belly I’m hoping to tight and tone everything as much as possible any suggestions/ or exercises. =) any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thank you!! I been worried. Lol but your answer helped
