Loose skin rebound

Hey Y'all! I am nearly 15 months out and I am noticing my loose skin seems to be bouncing back (especially my arms)...Is this really possible???, or am I just getting use to looking at it??? LOL! My hubby said he's noticed it bouncing back as well. I'm sure it's possible for someone in their 20's or even 30's, but I am almost 44 yrs. old...can this really be happening??? :) I don't work out :( l I know I should, and I'm sure if I did it would help even more.

Anyone else notice this???

  • who cares if it is 'real' or not...lol... it is how you feel that is more important! And if hubby is noticing too... well, I would just take that one for the team! Good job! x

  • I have heard from numerous people in my local WLS group that skin continues to change and fat continues to move to different areas up through 2 years post op and most people in our group are 40+.

Heya, well you and I had surgery semi close and we entered "maintenance" around the same time too. Whatever that means! LOL :smile1: I just wanted to say that my excess skin though it was never really bad, is shrinking away too. So, it's not just you thinking it.

Many studies show that it takes a few years for the excess skin to fully snap back as much as it ever will. This is the exact reason why I won't consider any skin removal surgeries until then. I'm hoping I'll never even need it.

GOOD LUCK!!!

I am SOOO HAPPY to hear this girl! Thanks for the info :)

Omg skin bouncing back? That would be AMAZING! My tummy there is no hope for but perhaps my arms and thighs? Oh that would be fabulous because I don't really like the results/scars of either of those surgeries!

YES GIRL can you believe it??? there is hope! I've totally noticed it mostly on my arms and back...don't get me wrong I still have tons of arm flap but it looks better. I really hope my inner and outer thighs can recoup a little more as well, fingers crossed!!! I am like you my tummy needs a tuck no matter how much it bounces back lol.

Please let this skin bouncing back thing be true - I am going to wait at least 6 months to make a decision on what to do with my tummy now that I am at goal. I wish my boob would bounce back (inflate) But do not think that will be possible.... will consider augmentation and tummy tuck if needed next spring. For now I am just enjoying the new me size 6 and smalls.... still losing and wondering where I will end up.
