Loose Skin after surgery - does everyone get it excessively?
There are no guarantees and no real way to predict. In my opinion, skin is the least of the issues to worry about. Its a by product of obesity we've got to live with in some respect.
My skin is loose but not bad for having lost between 135-150 lbs (I fluctuate against my will.). Early on I was careful to use an oil and salt scrub in the shower daily followed by aloe and a foot healing cream all over. It made a big difference in tone and texture. I also wore spandex virtually everywhere to fight gravity.
About six months after goal I got lax. Now gravity is setting in and although I have not lost anymore weight the skin looks more loose. Treat your skin well for the best possible outcome but expect some areas you won't luv. Compared to obesity the skin is a non issue for me. I would not fill it back up with fat for anything.
