Saggy skin

Hi everyone. I am getting my sleeve hopefully in December and one of my concerns lately has been the saggy skin. I am currently 223lbs and was wondering if anybody would be willing to share some info or pictures about your saggy skin and initial weight. Thank you

I was 223 at the start. 5'2.5" I'm 3 months out and have lost 41 pounds so far. I had an apron when I started from 4 c sections and being so overweight. I hate my belly. I'm in a size 10 now but I feel fat when I look at my belly.

You can read around the site and see some pictures, but what I've read is that it depends on several factors: how overweight you are to begin with (and your beginning weight is not that high compared with, say, mine!). Your age is a factor. And how much you exercise is a factor.

I'm assuming I'll get the surgery that removes the excess skin from the "apron" at the bottom of the abdomen. I'd probably like a breast lift but will need to win the lottery for that.

I'm definitely getting an apron. I already have my belly hanging :( but I am starting to be more active and trying to get used to an exercise routine. I am 29 right now.

Missy you are doing awesome i have not been a size 10 since 2007!
