male only Who had problems with sagging skin after weight loss?

[labwalker 1,177]

Just curious... I've been as high as 365, and the band is finally kicking in and working. My weight is coming off--down to 333 now. I've been as low as 290 in the past just by dieting and exercise, but I am hoping the band will allow me to keep the weight off that I am now losing. My goal is to get to 250 or 240. Have any of the guys on here had problems with sagging skin after losing a similar amount?

And, how did you deal with it??

That's my concern to but I think you will be fine with cardio

So far I've gone from 275.5 to 215 total of 60.5 lbs lost since 12/5 to now. Not a jiggle or sag in sight and I haven't been working out really. But as others say it could depend on age, how long you have been overweight, stretch marks and just plain old genes.

have the sag arms and the tummy sag also, trying to work it out but not successful. I am 65 so it could be age or bad genes lol Hope I do not have to do surgery as my insurance will not pay for it.

I had saggy skin everywhere, but i had lost 237 lbs, theres many factors that contribute to sagging skin, amount of weight u lose, age, hormones, genetics etc, if u are going to get it theres not much u can do about it, is saggy skin worse than skin filled with fat ? i wore my saggy skin like a badge of honour till i had surgery to get rid of it all, but even without the plastic surgery losing weight was far more important. You have to ask yourself why u are worrying about saggy skin, but didnt worry about stretching it by being heavy

concentrate on things u can change and not things u cant ( not without money and surgery anyways )

My theory is I most likely will have it. There is nothing I can do to prevent it so I try really hard not to worry about it.. You wont really know until you lose a lot of weight. Focus on weight loss.

My fear is bat wings on my arms but I'll take saggy skin over fat any day. Everybody is different depending on many factors.

Skin sagging is a problem I enjoy compared to the ones I had at over 450 lbs. Focus on food Plan, sleep and Exercise becoming healthy and fit because these are all things you can affect!

i asked my hub this......does he care if i am saggy?

he said he'd take sag over the scale saying 300+ pounds.....

and wouldnt you know, i think the very same thing..

its based on age, the amount of weight on has to lose, genetics etc..

you can tone or you can have surgery or you can learn to love what you are..

cg is right.

I think it effects all of us differently. my arms and legs are fine, but stomach was my problem. So i had a tt and i feel GREAT..

Hi ! my high was around 330, A long time ago. I was always heavy in my 20's I lost 100 lbs in a 7 months. than slowly gained virtually all back. Was banded 4 years ago at 300. Got down to 335 and had a body lift. Would do it again. and Again. When you get their contact me but if your young and have not been heavy that long you may not need it.

Like many others I will take saggy over fat anytime In my case when you need to lose160 lbs you would expect to see saggy skin.

Excess skin is a your mileage may vary topic. There are so many factors in play. You can tip the scale the most in your favor by slow steady weight loss combined with good rest, hydration, and exercise.
