I was reading something on the internet about if you wear a compression shirt while you lose weight during the rapid weightloss stage  you will have little to no excess skin. Any truth in this? It would be nice to do something about it if i could.

Definitely not true. There is really nothing that can be done about it. Perhaps adding some muscle but you won't be able to add enough to fill out the skin. The only remedy is P.S. Some people are lucky and it shrinks but most are not that lucky.

Unfortunately, adding muscles or plastic surgery are probably the only options.  Although, I have heard that younger people experience somewhat less of a problem because their skin is more elastic. (I'm 57 years old)

But my personal experience is that having the loose skin beats the fat by a long shot.

It's funny because this is probably the most popular sentiment pre-op/early post-op that soon gets forgotten after enough weight falls off.

Just keep reminding yourself about this because you will soon forget what it feels like to think this way...at least I did.
