Loose skin questions

A lot of people have been asking about the resultant loose skin and skin sag after surgery. I've just added 3 pics to my profile that show MY exeperience with it. As the profile says, YOUR results may vary, but maybe the pics will help give you some idea. Bette 376/174~~~December 2003

Hey Bette! Just wanted to say thanks for the new pics. It's funny, I just had this conversation with my hubby today as to whether or not I would need plastic surgery after weight loss. I think you are exactly right, everyone is different and each experience will be determined by heredity, genes, age etc. I was told since "skin" is not a muscle (I believe it is considered an organ), there is little we can do about sagging. If it was a muscle, then strenthening exercises would help. Oh well! Thanks again for being so open and honest with your entire weight loss journey. It truly means alot to many of us here. Keep your chin up and enjoy your new body this summer!

I suppose that you could always "fill it back up" with huge muscles, but I'm not looking forward to a Schwatznegger-esque appearance... And please excuse my spelling. I mean no disrespect to the esteemed governor of California.
