Hello,

My surgery is tomorrow and I'm nervous. I'm also afraid I will have a lot of loose skin. Anyone here 5'8 and weight around 260-270 and doesn't have much loose skin?

Im 5'9 and my starting weight was 275. Ive lost 30 pounds total and my surgerits y was March 21st. I don know your age, but Im 35 and have "youth" on my side, according to my surgeon. Once you can, start weight training. They say thats the best way to prevent lose skin.

Good luck with your surgery. I actually found everything to be a breeze, no nausea, no vomiting, tolerating everything really well.

I am 5'11" and started out at 334.9 and I have lost 116 lbs, I do have loose skin but its not near as ugly to me as the fat I had before the surgery!

I'm 5'9 and started almost a month ago at 287. Currently 262 and so far my body is shrinking nicely.

I don't anticipate a whole lot of lose skin.

I'm 28 will be 29 in three week. This is great to know. I hope I have your same experience

Im 26 5"9 started at 275. Down 85lbs (25lbs to go) - zero loose skin so far! Oh and I'm 5 months out. I carried my weight well though it was spread all over.

That's awesome!!! I guess I shouldn't be so negative can hardly see your name picture but from what I can see you look great! I hope to also have a success journey like you

5'10"...started at 303....down 40 (pre & post) and age 40...but I am only a month post-op. Water, Walking and Palmers firming butter lotion are 3 things that continually posted on threads that help with it.

Yep, good advice. Genetics plays a role also. Best wishes!
