I'm thinking way ahead, but have questions about loose skin issues and removal. I'm 215 now with no surgery date yet, and my goal is to lose 80 lbs.

Is losing 80 lbs going to leave me with saggy skin?

Is there any body lotion/cream to help me keep from having loose skin as I lose weight?

I doubt if my insurance would pay for it if considered cosmetic.

Unfortunately if you are going to have sagging skin you just will. There is nothing to prevent it. It depends your you skins elasticity as to whether you will have sagging skin or not.

I have lost over 100 pounds and have no hanging or saggy skin. I lost my weight slowly compared to a lot of people. I have also exercised from the beginning. I don't know if that makes a difference or not. I think there may be a lot of factors that play into it. Good luck!

Thanks, and congratulations on your loss!

Bcbs here in Texas pays for tummy tuck if you have a previous c section or hysterectomy scar. I had mine done back in 2009

I am 36 and am looking at losing about 80- I was told by my surgeon as long as I exercised from the start that I have enough elasticity left for it not to be a big issue. And believe me I will!

Same here. I had mine about 4 years ago with my lipo and none of it has came back. I exercise 4 times a week and my surgeon said thats why. He said the same thing as long as I continue after the surgery I should have no problem.
