Excess Skin...

I have typed this several times here, GENETICS has a lot to do with it. You can excercise 365 a year but that does not gurantee whether or not you will end up with sagging skin.

The only plastic I had was a tummy tuck (that was done when I was almost 6 years post-op). My legs and arms are toned. 

 I recommend anyone who is considering plastic to consider having it done when you are least 18 months out and your weight has been stable for at least 6 months.

Genetics plays a big part  I've lost 140 lbs and no saggy skin  just a little jiggly in lthe leg area because I was bottom heavy my thighs where the biggest thing on me when I was heavy and there still the biggest thing on me thin but I'm OK with that and I'm 40+

Amazing!  So did you work out the whole time you were losing weight?  And what does/did that entail?  I'm doing water aerobics, lifting little weights, walking & eating right.  Don't wanna have to tuck my 'skin' in when all is said & done.

The 1st 6mos I worked out a little (walking, biking riding) but stopped because I was losing to much weight I'm 5'8 I got down to  135 and looked frail  so needless to say I had to stopped exercising just to maintain my current weight of 143 I jus****ch what I eat now.

Hey Lil, did your son graduate from KHS? if so our kids graduated together.

Anyway, I am really bottom heavy and that is one of my main concerns. I addressed it with my surgeon and he looked at me and said of course he cannot predict it, but he doesn't think i will have too much of a problem with it. I cant take that to the bank so....
I guess this is one of those "wait and see" things.

No, home of the Bruins (Bethel High)..............I was really bottom heavy also and I nevery thought I would loose all my butt, my big thighs, and my killer hips but it happened I can't remember what Dr T.  said  

Thus far I've lost 142 lbs and I have some skin going on in my upper thighs (I can live with) and my belly (I want done after kids realistically) and my boobs. I'm just 1 year out so although I research I don't see me having anything done for quite a few years. Everything I buy flatters my figure and hides the skin  but I wouldn't trade the 140 lbs back for the saggy skin I got in a million years!
