lightwieghts and lose skin!
I think it depends more on your age and whether you exercise than on how much you lose. I am 57 and I have a ton of loose skin, but the younger you are it seems the less loose skin there is. I look pretty darn good in my size 2's and besides my DH and my DD's no one would ever guess.

I think I carried the bulk of my 249 pounds in my arms. I wish I wasn't such a wussy because I think I'm going to need some serious arm intervention and while the doc is there, maybe the girls could finally head to their rightful place on my chest!

I was going to ask the almost the same thing. I am at goal, lost 106lbs and I am 43. I have a lot of skin on my but! Lots! I was wondering if it settles in or not. My belly, arms and thighs are not the best but livable. Was wondering about plastics or if I should wait.

Lots of variables...for me I started redistributing after about a year and a half post-op. Some things bounced back pretty well -- the turkey neck, the elephant ear flaps where my butt and upper thighs used to be, and arms. The girls are pretty hopeless though. I was 52 at the time of WLS and wasn't obese for more than 3 years.

I am 48 and have lost 100 lbs. Although not perfect, I wouldn't consider PS. I am ashamed to admit this, but I really don't exercise either. September! Parts are kind of soggy, a little dimply and soft, but no real panni or hanging skin luckily. My butt is probably the worst. I think my bewbies have actually lifted a little in the last few weeks. I'm almost 5'8" so that might help?
