I’m 36 and almost 8 months out at 80 lbs down. I’ve been reading about loose skin from WLS and saw one source that said it takes about 2 years for your skin to go back to “normal.” While I’m grateful for my tool and the weight loss, my wrinkled brown bag stomach looks sad and I’m not crazy about the turkey neck, either. Can anyone 2+ years out confirm if the skin ever tightens up?

Rolling or fascia blasting, it helps break the fascia where it adheres to the fat making it appear smoother and helps break it down. They have special tools you can buy but I just massage my trouble areas. You can feel them when they release. The area by my iliac crest is an area tummy tucks can't touch and breaking the adherence has helped tighten that area.

Thank you for the info!

Sit ups? Rolling? Massaging? Witch craft? plastics?

What is the best way forward??

I went into WLS surgery knowing I would have plastics. I want a flat tummy and know that there is no way mine will get there naturally.

Same. I’m 34 and I started my journey at 311 lbs. I had surgery 5/10 combined I’ve already lost 81 lbs. my tummy and inner thighs are already crumpled bag skin. My arms look pretty crazy too. But I can hide them with sleeves so I’m not worried about that. But there is definitely a tummy tuck and boob job in my future. I mean I still have over 100 lbs to lose!

Mine looks a little worse every time I look in the mirror. Also, last weekend I tried on a pair of jeans that fit just fine at the waist when I was standing, but as soon as I sat down, I had two hideous-looking pouches above and below my pants! I'll be curious to see where I'm at come December 2019.

I felt the same way today in my jeans!
