I"m a dwarf by comparison, but wanted to point out that there is no way to predict or prevent the loose skin. There is no magical exercise or lotion to apply. If your skin is damaged by being stretched out too long from being obese, it's either filled or empty, that's it.
Much of your post op results will depend on age, duration being MO, genetics and luck. That being said, there are many undergarments that do a wonderful job concealing it.

I love Sweet Nothings from Walmart. They are made by Maidenform, and when tested to compare, the testers could not find any quality differences between the two. It will save you a small fortune, and I rarely leave the house without at least my cami that is truly magical.

Well im 5'10 was 389 day of surgery at 22 years old (now 29). And hello fellow horse lover! We seem to have mu*****ommon. Im almost 7 years post op (next month). 180lbs gone. Wear L/XL top (im still a 40DD) but wear size 10 jeans. compared to my 30/32W top & bottoms.
Skin, my legs, arms, face rebounded well. I carried a majority of weight in my mid section. I did have a panni removal and honestly I need some removed from my back, but the panni was the most annoying. Other than that perfectly happy.
Feel free to message me
