Skin Shrinkage?

OK, I know I'm losing inches and all that fun stuff, but I was looking at my thighs the other day, and they were all wrinkly and sagging. I look today, and things have tightened up again...is this normal?

I would imagine it is because your skin is so elastic and that is a wonderful thing.  That way you will be able to tighten as you go.  You are young and that really helps as well.  Congrats on your successes.

being as young as you are (no offense please dont take it that way) your skin will most likely not stretch out too much and will go back to "normal" (like we WLS folks are normal lol).  Dr Gorospe told me that at 34 I am still in young skin and should not have too much baggage skin left over.  Hope that makes you feel better about it.

Since I'm 40-something, I can't answer your question since I'm in the saggy, baggy, it-ain't-gonna-look-good group!

Count your blessings, youngster!

I have been doing that, too, and I'm not a spring chick.  But, hey, if and when I quit tightening I've heard they've invented plastic surgery !!!  I'm not too proud to admit I'm vain enough to not want a whole lot of sags !!  Some I'll take, but some not ;)

Oh to be 19 again!!!  This is awesome for you.  For me, however, I have the old plastics savings account going on for one area in particular!!!  The rest can be covered up just fine.  I'd rather have loose wrinkly skin than it full of "fat" any old day.  You go!!!

This is the ride of my life.....what an amazing tool I now have!!!

Some of my skin sagged, other parts did tighten...  it was weird like that.  Kinda hard to explain.  I am glad yours is tightening...  that should cut down a lot on any plastics you'd have to get done.
