Extra skin

I am having RNY on May 4th. My biggest concern right now is having extra sagging skin. Any tips on how to minimize or avoid this?

Exercise is the only thing I csn suggest. I am 5 months post op tomorrow, have lost 78lbs and definitely have some sagging, I have been really good with cardio and am now starting a weight/resistance program to help alleviate the sagging. I refuse to have skin removal surgery. Good luck!

Don't know your age or current size and future goal. But, if you lose a lot, you WILL have sagging skin; more so if you're older. Plastic surgery is the answer. If you're young, some of it might snap back.

I agree with the above comments it depends on where you carry your weight and your age as well as exercise plays a great role in this I exercise 5 days per week and i look great in clothes but still have saggy skin in my stomach area I am currently preparing to meet with my plastic surgeon to discuss options but I know I must be a year to a year in a half out. Good luck.
