    I think EVERYONE has sagging skin after weight loss, it’s just the degree to which you get it. But clothes cover everything that’s super-evident (thighs/upper arms/abdomen) and if it really bothers you there’s always plastics or other procedures.
    For now I’m making do with light Shapewear and elbow-length sleeves. Two years ago at this time, dressing for summer was 100x more complicated because I didn’t show those areas anyhow AND I was trying to manage the form-fitting/layering/air con-to-blistering weather. Now all I have to worry about is do I look good in one of my many medium-sized elbow-length shirts. So much easier. Definitely overrides any loose skin worries.
    What will happen will happen. Even if you end up with the least elastic skin ever, you’ll have more options than you do now.

    Yep. Its different for all of us and I'm sure it comes down to age and genetics. My friend and I were just talking about how I've lost more weight than she did (both by pounds and percentage) and yet I don't seem to have as much sagging skin as she does. It's pure luck on my part.

    Loose skin is a major variable as stated thoughtfully above, but the marked health improvements were still well worth it for me.
