Extra skin

I'm 4 days out of surgery. I'm already thinking about extra skin. The doctor told me I won't have it too bad because I'm young. Anyone get lucky with their skin. I'm 28.

  • You either will or will not have sagging skin. Being young definitly is in your favor!! My adviceis dont worry about it just focus on your journey with the band.

    Age can help, but the amount of weight you have to lose plays a big part of it as well. So does genetics and skin elasticity. Unfortunately there's no way to know if you'll have excess skin or not u

I have lost over 200 pounds and have a lot of excess skin- but I can hide it easily under my clothes. I couldn't hide 200 pounds of fat. I'll take the extra skin over the extra fat any day.

a lot is based on age, the skin itself, the amount of weight etc..I have some sag, on my upper arms (I could take flight I swear) my thighs and my stomach but you know what.....I asked my ole man did he mind.....he said he'd rather have me sag then be what I use to be (weight wise) and he is right.....you can always have surgery to remove or tone as best you can.....but if there is some sag, there is just some sag......try not to worry too much about it as not a lot one can do..
