Extra skin

I was just wondering how much extra skin I should anticipate. I will get sleeved a week before my 30th B-day and I would like to loose about 110lbs.

like so many things... it's very 'person by person' different. Lots of hints on how to do this in various threads here...

you are very young so you have a good chance the skin will adjust a good bit, particularly if the weight has only been there a few years. unlike me and my sharpei suit ( of which i am inordinately proud, i might add)

Like everyone said it really depends on your genetic make up, age, and how long you've had the extra weight. I'm 38 and so far with almost 50 lbs gone have no extra skin. I still have about 30 more lbs to go, but so far so good.

I'm also a slow loser so maybe that's helped me out too. Good luck to you:)

Jess, I lost about 100 lbs when I was in my late 20s, and I did it along with a strenuous exercise program...I had no problem then with loose skin issues...now fast forward to my being 51 and had a VSG in May...so far, I've lost just over 50 lbs, and I am having some issues with loose and flabby skin already...part of it of course is my aging I think in general and not the weight loss alone....as others have said, genetics and other factors play a part, but I would think at your age and with a 100 lb weight loss, you have a good chance of avoiding loose skin issues...best to you!
