I honestly think that, if you've maintained your weight and given it about a year to "firm up" on it's own, what's left will have to be surgically removed. Many factors impact saggy skin...age, skin type, skin moisture, skin health, personal health, how heavy you were (how much it was stretched) how LONG it was stretched, genetics, and so on. Think of blowing up a balloon...after a while, it stays stretched out even after you let the air out of it. Skin, although alive, is kind of like that. It can only recover so much.

Unfortunately, I think the faster that you lose weight the harder it is for your skin to play catch up. I truly don't think there is any quick fix or magic lotion that will help. If it is just a little excess skin, maybe within a year or so it will tighten up enough where it isn't so uncomfortable for you. I hope you continue with your success. Congratulations!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
