I currently weigh close to 15 stones. I'm 5'5 and have a BMI of approximately 34. I think I have a very big tummy. There are white stretch marks on it (which I'm not that bothered about) but I am scared of having loose skin. It looks like I am pregnant after I eat or drink anything. My tummy tends to protrude right out (like a pregnant woman) but there is also a slight overhang. Will people with overhangs almost definitely get loose skin if they were going to lose approximately 7 stones? I am hoping to get a gastric band but have yet to see the surgeon. I have heard that gradual weight loss, toning exercises and rubbing various scrubs into skin, as well as moisturizing, helps to reduce loose skin. However, is there any way to tell in advance if loose skin is going to be a problem? I am worried about my breasts as well... I'm around a 40 C at present. Does anyone have the experience of sagging skin after losing a lot of weight? Thanks, N.

Im 5'5 ive lost 150 lbs and i have lose skin its not terrible but its there.

My boobs another story... they look awful i hate them. They are now saggy and wrinkled and half thier size like a deflated balloon! Im only 24 i did not want my chest lookin like this.

I have lost 170 pounds and don't really have loose skin. The worst of it is where my triple chin used to be and I do have some bat wings. I really have'nt gone down at all breast wise. However I've never been perky and at 42 it's not getting any better.
