Anyone under 25?

Hello! Anyone under 25 had 200 pounds to lose and DIDN'T have to get a tummy tuck or any other PS? I'm very concerned about loose, baggy skin. I've been overweight my entire life and I do have stretch marks. Based on YOUR experience, how much of a part does youth play? Did you need plastic surgery?

I'M 23 yo, post-op 4.5 months, and I can tell you right now that I need lots of work. My breasts already starting to look like deflated, saggy balloons....ewwwWWw!!! And my arms have horrible stretch marks all the way around...come to think of it...so do my breasts! I think there's several different factors on whether you'll need the plastics...age, genetics, how long you were overweight for, how fast you gained the weight, skin elasticity....and so on and so on... But I'll take being skinny with extra skin, than fat with over-filled skin anyday! pre-op BMI-42 presently-29.5 heavest-237lbs (pre-op) 4.5 months PO- 166lbs Total loss of -71 lbs since surgery (feb 05) Lap Last 5'3" rny 2.16.06 Dr. Nazarian f.a.c.s. 237/166/115....that's what both my sisters weigh anyway!

Talk about skin!!! ewww Butr yeah, I am 22 years old I had surgery r-y-n on august 23rd, 2004 and today I have lost 120pounds, I have extra skin on my stomach, on my thighs on my arms, but if i had to choose one it would be my arms to get surgery on. I am sure the last answered best suited you, but i thought because of my age i wouldnt have skin, YEAH right I WISH lol! I just want to cut it myself (lolj/k) Well have a good one!

yeah the skin is bad grrrr i'm 23 and had surgery on dec 30 2004..i don't really care about anywhere else except my arms.( even though i could use PS everywhere ).i feel like i have to wear long sleeves in the summer still..i mean i don't but i probably should..i've lost 130 pounds already so i think it depends on how fast you gained then lost..
