Excess skin after 70 pound weight loss?

Hi everyone~

I have been wondering about excess skin after weight loss. I am planning to lose 70 pounds in all. My mom tells me, "you are young, it won't be that bad." My responses to her are: #1--I am 39--doesn't skin start to sag at that age? and #2--You haven't seen me naked lately! LOL. I have a lot of abdominal fat. I know this is different for everyone, but did you start to see a need for excess skin removal after a 70 pound loss?

Many thanks!

Amy

PS--My "Eating for life" classes start next week, then a visit with the dietician, THEN I get to meet my surgeon! I am on my way! :)
