I'm 21 and I've lost 187 pounds in a little under a year and I don't have very much excess skin.

Well congrats to those who don't have excess skin, cause I do especially my tummy, sometimes it really bothers me but I am definitely getting a Tummy Tuck this winter.....

It all depends on where you carried all your weight. If you were all belly, you will defiantly have a skirt of skin hanging. I knew a girl in who was very wide,carried all her weight in her upper body, and is just drowning in extra skin. I'm 24, and down almost 95 lbs and no noticeable extra skin even though I lost 5 pant size/3 top sizes. I'm built solid weight distributes pretty even

Does anyone know what the sauna does for the excess skin? Like how long you have to use it and how many minutes? Any experience with this making a difference?

Lost 125 lbs in a little under a year. Skin is horrendous(to me) around stomach bottom. Arms and legs are seeming to look more and more normal everyday.

Well I'm in my 30's (I know this post is in the 20's section) and my excess skin isn't too bad. I think I could be a candidate for a Tummy Tuck, but I want to maintain my weight for a while before thinking about that. Stomach isn't really too bad, but more something I'd do as a gift for myself. Overall the skin issue is ok, and I'm definitely in the gym toning as much as I can.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
