1) Decide. What do you want more? Being obese or being at a lower weight with some skin sag?

    I'll be 4 years out in June, 2017. I think because I lost slowly, I had a little skin sag, but not bad! I'm 56. Younger people I know that have had weight loss surgery didn't have hardly any. I've met one person in a support group that had additional surgery for skin. I say, just see how it goes, exercise along the way and see how you feel closer to goal.
