How have people dealt with loose skin? For those that have lost 100+ pounds, how big of an issue is it? I am scared to lose the weight and end up feeling worse about myself because of the skin issue.

I have lost 128 lbs i have not got any loose skin ... yet i still have 50lbs to go but i think personally i will be okay i think it all depoends on your age and your genetic make up etc ... some people seem to really struggle with it and others dont

This is something I am worried about, and so is my husband. Especially since insurance will not cover any of it...

I'm 2.5 years out and d yes, I have loose skin, but I'm 46.. so I do think that age has something to do with it - the elasticity of your skin in the first place. To me, I'd rather be healthy on the inside and have some loose skin, than be forever unhealthy and have skin covering the fat.. To start with, about a year and half a go, my arms were really gross with the loose skin, but after putting cream on most days... it has really improved.. things take time to settle down. don't lose heart straight away..

It's all about age imo.
