Surgery in 10 days, starting to worry about saggy skin : \

Anyone have a problem with skin sag after surgery? I hear the older you are, the worse it is. I'm 31, but i'm 300lbs...i'm pretty sure there's going to be a fair amount of sag.

I guess all my fears are coming up because the date is so close. I've had a nightmare where i ate actual food and screwed up the liquid diet. lol

Also, how long were you in the hospital?

I would think as young as you are if you exercise it should be minimal. Would not worry about that. I was in the hospital 2 nights. I could have gone home after 1 night but my surgeon asked if I wanted to stay another night. I choose to stay because I did not feel comfortable enough to go home.

I am worried about this too. I heard it will be saggy for a while and then it will shrink up some or a lot . I will be sleeved Thursday. I am 51 so I do worry about this.

I am 64 and I am only saggy in the lower belly area. I had a big pot gut. I went from 340 to 212.

I think my sagging is getting better. I am a year and a half out.

I was in the hospital 2 days.

I had a dream that I was besieged by a flock of bluebirds. They were quite annoying and would not leave me alone. I woke up and realized that my computer alarm program was going off, set to the "birds" setting. I want a "fawning super-model" setting. :D
