I know there are lots and lots of people who have WLS in their 40's and beyond...and I'm just wondering from y'all who are in your twenties...do you find that the skin has been bouncing back pretty well??  That is really what I'm the most worried about.  Just being really flabby..... I've always been really active and i'm pretty 'firm' right now...all except my lower abdomen after having my daughter it's never been the same and just always got bigger (of course) after having her.  So does using dumbells and doing crunches after surgery really make a big difference???  Just curious...thanks

The toner and skinnier you are in the abdomen, the better your belly will look. 
I am definitely NOT happy with my stretch marks and extra skin.. I definitely suffer from the "bread dough" syndrome.. and it only gets worse the more I lose around my stomach!
You can't tell in pictures but you can tell in person. When you smoosh the stretch marks together, it creates this weird to-the-touch and to-the-eye sensation. The only way to describe it is bread dough, lol.

Using weights and doing crunches will help, also the fact that you are active NOW will be a big help for you.  I lost 125+ lbs and so I definitely have a lot of extra skin on my abdomen unfortunately, but someday I'll be blessed enough to get plastic surgery :)
