Hi ladies! I'm quickly approaching my 30th birthday, its about 5 months away. I know everyone has different genes but I'm wondering generally how women around my age have found their skin is after surgery.

I lost 25kilos when I was 24 and had no issues.... however that's nearly 6 years ago AND I need to lose around 60 kgs this time so feeling nervous!

I just turned 30 and I'm 7 months out from surgery. I have lost 73 lbs and my skin is going back to normal pretty good! I have 35 more lbs to lose before I hit my goal and I feel confident that I won't have that much hangy skin. And on a good note I haven't lost my boobs, lol. Good luck to you! Happy New Year!!

I started using skin firming lotion. I always lotion my body as soon as I get out of the shower so it wasn't a big deal. I'm hoping by using that my skin will be able to catch up to my weight loss

I'm 26 and am 4.5 months out and down 70 ish pounds (30 ish left until goal). For me, stretch marks have definitely gotten more noticeable in the places where I tend to carry the most weight. It's not my favorite thing, but I'm not going to give it a second thought until I'm a year or two out. The reason that so many doctors make you wait until you consider plastics is that your skin changes and tightens up a lot after you reach goal. Like everyone else says, I think genetics plays a pretty large factor in loose skin, hair loss, etc. and so I'm not going to stress about anything other than what tiny pants I should buy next!

@@Sassafrassa My skin is doing ok thus far but I've only lost about 36 lbs (I'm only two months out) I'm 34. I still have a Ways to go so just like anything with this surgery only time will tell.

I'm almost 9 mths out, down 104 lbs. I'm almost 50 (that hurts to say that lol). My skin is doing well, surprisingly. I have somewhat of the turkey neck but oddly enough, proud of it! It sure beats chin upon chin. My thighs have bought the farm mostly but it's not horrible. My tattoos on my ankle have gotten smaller and the skin on my calves is great! It's a small price to Pay and we all anticipated it. Don't worry about it. It's a badge of honor!!!
