Excess Skin??

Have any of you noticed this yet/already? I've lost 71 pounds and still need to lose about 110 more and I can already see sagging skin. My upper arms and thighs are the worst. My stomach is just really flabby. I knew I was gonna have loose skin..I mean I started at 332 pounds but I just didn't expect to see it so soon. Now don't get me wrong! I'd much rather have loose skin than have it filled out with those other 70 pounds :D Mandy 332/261/150??

Mandy how are you doing in the excercise department? I started at 272 and I'm at 200.0 today. I work out ridiculous amounts (as you know) and my excess skin is there - but not that bad. My stomach is almost flat believe it or not ( I do at least 1000 crunches a day which helps). My upper arms and my thighs do have a bit of excess but not a lot.

I workout 3-4 days a week cardio (45 minutes) and 2-3 times a week strength training/muscle toning.

Thats funny I was going to post this exact same thing today. The tops of my legs/inner thighs are getting a bit saggy and my arms a bit flappy (but not too bad). My tummy is ok so far, but I do sit ups most days. As for the boobs - well lets just say they are going South. My husband Ron has been singing this song to me and said I should post it to you guys: Do your boobs hang low? Do they wobble to and fro? Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a bow? Can you toss them over your shoulder Like a regimental soldier? Do your boobs hang low? well??????????????????....................... I've told Ron I will get him a boob job for his 50th birthday ( in 2 years). He thinks that's a great idea for his birthday present. Can you tell he's a boob man??

Ruth, the song cracked me up. I'm rolling on the floor over here laughing so hard. Your husband sounds like a comedian. TOO FUNNY!! My boobs went from a F to a small D already.

my boobs are now fruit roll ups....i just roll 'em up and pop them into my bra and call it a day!

I have noticed flabby skin on my upper inside arms and the upper inside thighs. My boobs are pathetic!! I never dreamed that they would look like this so very quickly!! It seems one day I looked in the mirror and everything was pointed down. I didn't think I would need or want a boob job, but I'm quickly changing my mind!! The other day my bra felt funny, (at that time I was still wearing the same bra as before WLS), so went to the restroom and checked it out. My boobs were coming out the bottom of my bra!!! It was so humilating!! I went home that night, dug to the bottom of my drawer and found a smaller size underwire bra. (Former size 46G down to 42DD) I figured the "wire" might hold everything in, at least it feels more comfortable and I don't feel like I'm losing something!!

I am totally with you there, I was noticing in the car, that while I was sitting there, my skin on my thighs was pooling, and puddling on the seat, like melted ice cream bar. it was pitiful. it totally took away from the joy of fitting into my EXTREMELY thin husbands pants, when I saw that saggy baggies laying there, puddled all over my nice seats. I am just hoping that in 18 months it is gone as well.
