Hi sleevers,

Two years ago, I was 28, I got my sleeve so I can tell you that your boobs will be like running pancake more or less, your skin will bounce back but not to the point you can be a model. Exercise will help and moisturize. If you have stretch marks, forget it, it becomes wrinkle tshirt type of look. I look great and won't trade that skin for nothing.

I've always wanted to get a boob reduction, now I'm going to wait into I get near my goal weight so I could know what I exactly want done. I have already started working out and plan to continue after surgery. I don't have stretch marks on my stomach area only on my hips on the sides of them =\. That's great that you are happy with your skin =). Thanks for your feedback =)

I'm 29 and 8 weeks post op. I will be 30 next month and am concerned about saggy skin in my tummy and thighs. I had a breast reduction several years ago and well now that's where I'm losing the weight first!

I have stretch marks on my tummy and I know it won't look super hot but I just don't want it to sag! So I'm putting Q10 lotion on it every night hoping it will help but we will see in time.

I just tried asking this same question on a new these but it wouldn't load I hope to find answers on here too! I am worried most about my arms! I am 21, 5'5, 240... & my arms are my biggest worry... Hope it bounces "back"!!!

[alyshac 15]

I will and me too. I have been putting it on daily for about a month but I was focusing more on my thighs than my tummy until about the last 2 weeks. My thighs do seem smoother though.

I am 28. On my Date of Surgery I weighed 264lbs... Today I weigh 179lbs... Lately as my weight loss has slowed down I bit I have noticed my skin has been tightening up a little too... Obviously this a process that isn't going to happen overnight however I am starting to have some hope that one day I will have a more normal body... I have stretch marks on my stomach and arms and I still notice my skin getting tighter... I try to be good about moisturizing but I don't do it everyday like I should... Maybe if I did this would go a little quicker. I do work out a decent amount... There is hope!

What's Q10 lotion?

It's by NIVEA and suppose to firm and tighten skin.
