Can we hear from those of you who DON'T have loose skin?

Loose skin seems to be a given, and I've begun to come to terms with this.  However, there are whispers that loose skin doesn't happen to everyone, and there's some mysterious magical property that some people possess where they can lose weight and not develop wings in unsightly places.

For those of you who have not yet seen loose skin -

1. are you at goal?
2. are you willing to share your age? :D
3. how quickly did you lose?
4. did you start off with some loose skin that tightened up?
5. did you religiously hydrate (water intake)?
6. did you do anything funky (a friend swears by massage + oils/lotions)?

You might get a few responses if you post this on the main board, where there is more traffic.

My understanding is that skin elasticity is genetic and there's not really anyhing you can do about it, unfortunately for me!

Heh.  Yeah, the doc at Duke's clinic has said the same - it's genetic, you can't predict who will be saved from it, etc.  I was hoping beyond hope that there was some secret to it beyond that, as I like to think i can control such things.

Ah, well.  Won't stop me from trying, at least.  I may pop this over onto the RNY board sometime soon.
