Well I'm only a few weeks and 23 pounds down, but I've been using palmers firming butter 2x a day and its really seeming firmer. I'm hoping it will keep up like this for the 100 lbs I have left to lose. My surgeon informed me that I have extra elastic skin so when it comes to scarring I'm screwed, but loose skin shouldn't be much of a problem. Ill report more on the firming butter with time.

Also, palmers coco butter is the greatest! Especially for that dry skin after surgery. My skin has never felt softer on my hands and feet. Check out the palmers line. I really like their products.

Does anyone have like a lot of loose skin?! I keep telling myself that since I am only 26 and have only been this big for about 4 years I won't get any. I know everyone is different but that is honestly the one thing that is scaring me the most about this. I have like 120 lbs to loose. I plan on working out and all that but am just sooo nervous.

I was just about to post the exact same question! I am 27 so I am curious to know as well!

I'm 25, and started at 330. Yesterday I weighed 244, and I'm 4.5 months out from surgery. I was 310lbs at surgey. I definitely have loose skin, but so far it's manageable. I'm going to start wearing Shapewear under my clothes soon to help them fit a little better (not to make me smaller, but to distribute that skin a little). I think over time my skin will firm up and bounce bake a little, but I KNOW I'll have loose skin, and that's a side effect I was willing to live with. If it really interferes with my life/happiness/health maybe I'll try to get it removed once I reach a constant weight near my goal.

I've already got a piggy bank to save for my new boobs. I've always wanted them to be rounder and more perky, now I have an excuse for surgery once they turn into pancakes!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
