Question:
stretch marks and excess skin

i would like to know if anyone lost over 120 pounds and DID NOT have stretch marks if you had alot of excess skin. i know the areas in my body that i have stretch marks (stomach) will have excess skin. i don't have any stretch marks on my arms and hope i don't need an arm lift. i'm trying to see how much my plastics will end up costing so i can save up. i know that nobody can give me an answer on how "my" body will react, but i just wanted an idea. 5'7 starting 278 down to 218 3 1/2 months out.    — franbvan (posted on December 16, 2003)

I don't have stretch marks on my arms, legs or buttocks, but they ALL need work. No, it's not as awful as some pics I've seen, but bad enough I'm going to pay to have them fixed when I can afford it.

I dropped 250 pounds in my first year (and 270 overall). My upper body is basically stretch-mark free as are most of my arms. And my face and neck snapped back as well. You see, even us guys worry a little about stretch marks and "excess" skin.
