After a sleeve does everyone need to have plastic surgery?

I'm a little concerned that after having a sleeve and losing weight there would be the need for plastic surgery to tighten skin. Does everyone need that or with exercise and hard work can the skin tighten?!?

    I get that loose skin is an unknown outcome and a fear for some people. Some insurance helps cover plastic if your skin causes health issues. For me, the loose skin is not as bad as being obese. A few people..for a very few people..Their skin bounced back. Exercise does not change loose skin.

    I don't feel the need for plastics.

    I lost 85 total and plastic surgery would be cosmetic and not at all required. There is nothing about my skin that is limiting me. Quite honestly I would go up against any 44 year old woman that had 2 kids.

    I think age, genes, how heavy you were and how long you were heavy dictates whether extra skin will limit you. I think pregnancy did much more damage than being obese.

    I have lost over 100llbs and having plastics in January. Im 56 and have had huge babies, have been overweight for a long time and although I think its drastic, the reality is after a year of working hard in the gym, swimming and walking my dog a lot... my tummy is dreadful and my breasts..... well, let just say they are a trip hazzard after taking my bra off.

    I can't wait.

    It's tidy up time :D
