There isn't an answer to that. Either your skin is elastic or it's not. Ask your surgeon what he thinks. I know I'll need an arm and boob job. My arms already feel like Jello and that skin isn't bouncing back--I don't think.

But yeah, your age could help, genetics could help. But skin only stretches so far and comes back. If you stretched it past the point of no return it will turn into loose skin.

It's not just people that have WLS that have it. If you rally really hard and lose all that weight, you'd have it if your skin was past it's point too. But really, no way was I getting back to a size 10 on my own. So I wouldn't have had to deal with it. Now I might have to. I REALLY HOPE I DO. And honestly, would you rather have loose skin you can tuck in a girdle or fat filled skin? You still have the same amount.

It all depends how small we get after WLS. I did great the 1st 30 pounds then after losing more wieight I skin suddenly drop. I'm saggy all over. The only thing that looks great is my face. No wrinkles saggy or anything. I'm 34 brow and you could be 20 and if your face drops you will want a face lift & I didn't want to mess with my face so thanks god my face is good. Dealing with pimples as if I was a teenager & dry skin.

Question... how bad is your extra skin? I'm 22' date=' will I have it bad or less likely to have it as bad since I am young??[/quote']

I'm 30 and my arms are a little saggy but the more I left weights I see them shrinking and ny butt is not saggy but not as firm so doing squats and my in thighs need a little help working on that as well. Over time what ever is saggy my shrink especially if ur not to skinny and have good genes

Hopefully I'm good I had a really tight but before and slowly getting back. Trying to loose my weight slow. Also use a lot of weights when working out.

I'm not worry anymore. Im saving my money cuz if i don't have this surgery i will get depress. Who said money can't make you happy???? I'm having my surgery & I won't be perfect but I will be extremely happy for me & only me & it would be worth the pain & 8/10 hr surgery.

The day before I have my surgery I will take photos but it will be in good taste. I won't flash my butt & boobs but I will have like bikini photo so you can see why everyone must be prepared for after surgery & what happens to your body. It's better being healthy & slim and not fat knocking down everything as you walk but I rather also look fabulous. I can not live the rest of my life with a saggy body. I just can't do it so 2014/2015 I'm getting fix from head to toe...

hair extensions

Usually nails done

Boob lift(no implants)

Tummy tuck

Arm lift

Butt lift

Thigh lift

Pedicure

After I heal in 6 weeks I will take photo hubby is gonna have to drive me to the nail salon there is no way I'm going more then 2 weeks with out getting my nails done. Let me see if I can deal with pain after 2 weeks maybe I can drive if I'm not on pain killer.
