I just got the band, but my mom has had hers for two years. She had large breast and got a reduction because of sagging and just the weight of them actually hurting her back. She's done very well but has a lot of excess skin and in future she wants a tummy tuck.

Well i also have larger breast and since I do have a lot to lose i'm afraid that i'll have the excess skin that she has.

I was wondering if anyone near my age group had to go through plastic surgery to get the desired body, or because our skin is much younger, it was easier to tighten your body.

I know older folks who didn't have skin issues and I know younger ones that did....I think it depends on each person and whether or not you are working out at the same time as I think that helps, too. (not that I have been working out like I should, mind you, as I am 34 and have the skin issues with my pannus)

Hope you get some feedback from some younger folks on here!
