So I'm just curious about how much excess/loose skin people have been experiencing?

I'm 25 5'6" and 240 lbs. My surgery is scheduled for September 24th and even if I have a lot of loose skin ill just be thrilled to improve my fertility and functionality!

Is there anything I can do to improve the chances of helping my skin tighten up a little? I plan on exercising regularly and staying hydrated.

Any other tips?

Loose skin depends on a couple of factors.

The main one is skin turgor. You are young, so this shouldn't be an issue.

The next one is how much the skin has stretched, how long it has been stretched and have you gone from big to small to big before.

Basically, how big are you? How long have you been this big and have you ever lost it all and gained it back.

A lot of people with loose skin will say that they were very big and that they had been big a long time.

Your stats aren't bad. You should have minimal issues. You are young and you don't weigh that much.

Thanks for the info Makes me feel a bit better

Yeah, even with toning I already have excess skin from carrying twins. I talked to a plastic surgeon and he basically told me there are many factors and that it's a very individual thing. Toning will definitely help the overall musculature and will give a better appearance after plastic surgery if one goes that route.

My twins did me in, too. They pretty much destroyed me physically and financially. Lol
