Hey, I was wondering if anyone around my age could give info on skin. If you had WLS under 30, and preferably had no kids but needed to lose 100-120 lbs, how did your skin hold up to the weight loss?

Thanks!

I had it on my 31st birthday, and was about 130 lbs overweight on the first day of pre-op. I am beginning to see some loose, saggy skin in the abdominal area, but not really anywhere else, and this might be attributable to the drain site. I am 60 lbs down at 6 weeks out, so I'll update this thread once more happens.

I'll be 30 when I have my surgery in November. I have about 140 to lose. So we will see.

When I was 26 (I always had two kids) I lost about 100 pounds without wls, I did not have any loose skin. I am now 30 and scheduled for October 21st. I need to lose about 120 lbs. I'm really hoping I don't get loose skin this time around. But I'm kinda preparing myself for it bc it will be a rapid weight loss.

I want to lose fast, but I'm okay with losing slower if it minimizes loose skin.

Hello im 28 420 lbs and i have 2 kids surgery sched for mid october. Prob will have loose skin but i heard from different people that with excercising and usin a girdle helps with it. But i imagine someine my size prib need a lil more help other than that. (Plastuc surg) good luck and dnt worry about loose skin ur health is more important! Good luck ????
