A lot of you probably have experience with this. So, I would appreciate any advice or help you can provide.
I got banded a while back Dec. 2008 and have lost over 100lbs since then. I am in my mid 40's. I expected my skin would not be as tight because of my age and would have to have surgery to remove that disgusting skin flab that some people get when they loose a lot of weight. I guess I am one of the lucky ones since I am working on a pretty decent 6-pack now.
Being fat is obviously disgusting enough but skin flab would be unbearably disgusting so I am sooooo thankful I wont have to deal with it!!!!!
I guess I am asking is is it normal for a guy in mid 40's that has lost over 100lbs in a year and a half not to have to worry about that repulsive excess skin flab?
