Does excercise help with excess skin?

I am just starting the process of surgery meeting with surgeon 8/28 one of my concerns is excess skin I already have wings so if I lose weight Ivan only imagine how bad they will be. I'm very concerned that I may need plastic surgery and really want to avoid that as much as possible just wondering if anyone had any luck with working out alone to keep the skin from hanging. Need to drop about 70-80lbs

@aroundhky... Nice mildly inappropriate pic! Lol! I think it all depends on your genetics, how much you tone and weight train while loosing and how much you have to loose in certain areas! For example, my stomach wasn't huge before my RNY but my arms were, therefore when I lost my weight no matter how much weight training I did my stomach looked pretty good with minimal skin where as my arms had horrible bat wings, no matter how much I worked them out!! Also, I have really dry skin... Maybe that played a part, I'm not sure! You will never know how your body will react to weight loss until it happens.

One of my friend also faced a problem with excessive skin actually it will happen after the surgery. Then he consult the professionals who are in the field of exercise and fitness guru's. Then he do regularly exercise for particularly loss of excessive skin. Now, He is somewhat better than previous.
