How is your skin??
So for those of you farther out Thatt have lost the weight, how is the excess skin? Are we still young enough not to have a ton left hanging? I have not met anyone around my age (28) that has lost over 100lbs so I can ask. I look in the mirror now and look good with my clothes on, but very melted naked, and I was wondering if it will tighten up. I still have quite a few more lbs to go but haven't been a size 18 since I was 18 lol. Thank you in advance for your answers.
Height: 5'8" Start weight:316 My goal: 190 Surgeons goal:175. reached my goal... 3years out, had some bounce back time to get back on track!
i have read it takes about 2 years from when you reach your goal weight for your skin to go back to "normal", or if you reach a low enough body fat percentage this speeds the process... using lotion every day also helps, i think mostly because of the massaging and tissue stimulation. ohh and exfoliation!
Hey I was 26 when I had surgery and I will be 28 this year. I was 298lbs at 5'5'' tall and I now weigh about 140lbs. I went from a size 26 to a size 6/8 depending. So I have lost 158lbs. My skin isn't the best but isn't the worst. I do need a tummy tuck and possible lower body lift but in clothes you can't really tell. I don't wear shapers but would have a smoothere tummy appearance if I did. My breasts are deflated but I am still a 32F I was a 46 DDD but I think that the size was wrong. I never got sized when I was larger. I think the worse is when I am laying in bed and my skin sags to the side. You can see hip bones but it looks like puddles on each side of me. I know gross but soo true. Standing upright it isn't so bad. I am however waiting to have kids before I get any plastics. I want a breast lift, tummy tuck/ possible lower body lift, and some lipo. My arms aren't really bad. They are a bit saggy but not enough for me to want to fix.
Hope this helps a little.
