Hi yall,

I just wanted to know for those of us who need to lose between 60 and 80 pounds. Since you been sleeved(Sleeve coming 26th of this month) and have been losing do you notice a lot of excess skin or not much at all. Im trying to determine on how much lifting and what kind of routin as far as exercise and weight lifting I need to get into. Im 32 soon to be 33 and I think I still have good elasticity in my skin but just kind of wanted to get an idea how you guys are doing with excess skin.

Thanks in advance, B.

Wait at least 2 years then consult a plastic surgeon. Some will do many proceedures at once, it all depends on your tolerance to pain, finances and surgeons suggestions.

Even lifting willn't totally firm your excess skin. I definitely will need plastic surgery, I lost a lot of weight rapidly. I am going to wait two years like they recommend though.

y do we have to wait so long to get the 2nd surgery wat if u want it before it

Well, I was told by my Dr. it depends on the elasticity of your skin, as well as other factors. He said to wait for at least 2 years. With the weight loss & exercise I should see some significant changes.

Ok but I doubt if it ever get rit of it all..
