No Lose Skin?

Is there ANYONE here that had the surgery, lost/is losing a bunch of weight, and has little to no lose skin?? What did you do? I'm scheduled for surgery in 24 days... I don't have any flabby skin right now at all - at 300 lbs. I'm fat, but it's contained... Just wondering what some of the preventative techniques were

    Workout workout workout! Not just cardio, you have to do some circuit/weight training.

    I am interested in this too. How much should be weight training as opposed to cardio? Should it be a few days a week, every day, at least 10 minutes per day, 20, 30, 40, etc?

    Hello,

    I had my gastric sleeve surgery mid July and started weight training in September so almost 2 months now twice a week. Last night I noticed loose skin in the breast area do anyone have any advice/ideas/exercises on how to tone up the breast area?

    Please send me your thoughts I do not want to have breast surgery it took all my energy to have gastric sleeve surgery.

    Thanks for listening,

    Lee

    I don't really have any loose skin, but I haven't lost as much weight as most people that have had this surgery. Also, I think resistance training helps some.
