 Just wanted to say hello and show some love to the North TX crew.  Thanks be to God Blue Cross Blue Shield is now covering the sleeve as of last week and I'm hoping to have surgery in September. 

I'm 28, about 245lbs and 5'4" but I am and have always been very muscular in shape.  Of course now with fat sitting on top of it, it's not ideal but once I start to tone after surgery should I expect to have a lot of  loose skin???

That depends on how fat your arms are, how stretched out your skin is, and for how long, and how much elasticity is in your skin.

I started at 275 and I have no loose skin on my arms. maybe starting at a lower weight will be good for you also.

Welcome to BAF and best wishes on your wls journey.

Because you are still young and weigh 245 lbs you probably

won't have many issues with loose skin imo.
