Sagging Skin

Hi everyone!

Just looking for some feedback regarding sagging skin after your surgeries. I am scheduled for sleeve surgery this November, I am 230 lbs and hoping to get to 160 ish (of course who knows I may lose more or less)...but that would be my goal. In your experiences, would losing this much weight cause sagging skin?

Thanks for any experiences you can give me...nervous and have a million questions!

      I notice sagging skin mostly under my arms and inner thighs. I have lost 60lbs so far and have 46 more to go. I would rather have my saggy skin than my 60lbs of fat any day!

      As someone who started at 688, and who is now 387 as of last Saturday, the excess skin has really become an annoyance post-op. Nothing I can do about it now though. It will hopefully be addressed i

    That is amazing! I'm worried about loose skin myself. My highest weight was 540 and I am currently at 400 4 months out. How long did it take you to get to your current weight?
