So Im about 5 months out I think.... anywho Ive been loosing relativly consitantly and been working out alot...but I was wondering if anyone has had experiance with loose skin? My Doc. said I shouldnt have too much of a problem with it because 1. Im young and 2 I got the lapband so its slower; But already I see where I might have extra skin! Any suggestions on workouts or anything for the extra skin? Also if youve had to have surgery for extra skin can you tell me about the expierance with that? Thanks much, Constance

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that it can sometimes take a year after you are maintaining a normal healthy weight for you skin to go back... it didn't get streched out overnight, and it won't go back overnight either (sad i know!!!) if you go to plastic surgeons websites you can look at befor and after photos of surgeries... Good luck!! Bridget 280/175/140 RNY 8/8/05

thanks for your response! yeah i guess i kinda knew that lol just didnt want to believe it! I guess ive been told that the stretched skin would not go back ever unless by surgery......so it can go back on its own? thanks again constance
