I am in the process of loosing the weight going to the gym eating healthy only 6 weeks post op but I wonder about the skin issue. I know no one can tell me how my body will react but im just curious if its possible I wont have excess skin?

I saw a thread just like this a couple weeks ago and, yes there have been several here that have lost 100#+ that have have no notable skin issues.

I think it depends on your age and history. I have a friend that did the Lap Band, she was 26 at the time and lost about 110 lbs...no issues at all. I have another friend that also did the Lap, we was 45 at the time, with 3 kids and lost about 95 lbs...she had issues. Nothing she couldn't deal with, but she would never put on a bathing suit because of her legs and arms. I think there are ways to have the insurance cover some of the cosmetic surgery, talk to your sleeve surgeon.

I got rid of my Hubby and was down 210 lbs like T-H-A-T and it didnt make my skin worse.

JK! me and hubby are gewd <3

I have lost 161 lbs and my arms are like bat wings.

I hope to tone up at the gym some more. Might have skin removed in a few years.

I have lost 77 lbs and have some skin dilemma's, nothing I can't deal with though. My doc and others told me I look so much more younger now.
