I'm 25 and banded. My highest weight was 220 when banded I was 210 I'm not 149 and I was to be 135-40.

I did have a lot of excess skin but with lots of exercise and some lipo my body has changed a lot. It has been some time since my lipo and my body is still changing. I find the gym helps a lot.

There are photos on my blog if you want to see someone of similar weight.

I'm 22. My highest weight was 327, and now I'm 241. I have notice some excess skin, mostly around in inner thighs. I guess you just have to wait and see what happens, you know?

I'm there with you, I'm 24 now but i got it last year. my mom and grandmother who are both banded say i'm younger so my skin bounces back more. Going to the gym will help out a lot but in the end you may need some skin removed.
