Not at all!  Some people are just uber lucky to not have much or any at all.  It just depends on different factors such as starting weight, length of time, marks, etc etc.

Good luck Lindsey!

As Brock put it so delicately, you will likely have some sagging skin, particularly in those areas where you carry the majority of your excess weight.  The extent of how much redundnant skin who will be left with is dependent on those factors Jaci mentioned.

As much as I wish I could tell you otherwise - you are **almost for certain** going to have some saggy skin.  Factors such as how overweight you are, how long you have been that way, and where you carry your weight will affect the severity of your excess skin, but you are pretty assured of having some no matter what.  

But please don't let that be your focus.  You are going to get healthy, you are going to regain mobility, you are going to open up all kinds of doors for yourself, and compared to all that you stand to gain a little saggy skin is nothing. 

If, when you hit goal and stay there for a while, the skin really bothers you, well, then they have surgeries to fix that.  In the meantime celebrate your new life and work on getting and staying healthy.
