Hi! I just want to know everyone's experience on loose skin and I'm concerned of having loose skin. I'm 22 years old and my weight is distributed pretty evenly . I mean, I carry it mostly in my butt and thighs but , my body looks proportioned . I'm 225 pounds and I've been overweight since I was a child and old have stretch marks on my lower back and arms . Any opinions ? Experiences ? Thank you (:

You won't know until it happens. My stomach and breasts are a hot mess, but my arms and legs look normal.

Congrats for being smart enough to have your WLS while you are young enough to enjoy it!! With your youth probably comes more elasticity in your skin than those of us who had surgery when we were in our 40's and over. I lost a lot of weight on WW when I was in my late 30's and even though I was pretty heavy my skin bounced back pretty good.

You'll be so excited about your weight loss and the loose skin might not bother you at all.
