Questions Regarding Skin

I had the RNY about two years ago, at 338, 5'9" tall. I'm currently at 162, and wondering if I should lose any more. My main question is: Should I subtract the "skin" weight from my current weight to get a better idea of how much I "really" weigh? ..and... how much does the skin of the avg person who's lost 170+ weigh? I.E. Would I say: I weigh 162 skin is (30) -------------------------- Actual weight = 132? Thanks for any information, opinion etc! -Sara FM

I happened in on a show called Big Medicine and they were doing a surgery on loosing the excess skin on the tummy and buttocks on a man who has lost over 200 pounds. They removed over 8 pounds from his back and hips and 12+ pounds off his tummy. That was the only surgery they showed of him on this show. They were going to do his chest and arm on a later show. So I think the 30 pounds would be a fair estimate. Congratulations on your loss. That is great.
