LappyJac 17 Posted September 8, 2011 Hey Guys My Name is Jacqui and I'm 18 years old. I weigh 105kg (231 Pounds) and I'm 5 foot 8. I've been researching the surgery for a good while now, (lurking this forum ) and have my first appointment with my surgeon this month. I'm a little worried about excess skin after I lose weight, does anyone think it will be a problem for me? is there anything you can tell me to help prevent it? (not that it would be very upsetting, I'm just looking forward to a much happier healthy me ) also any advice anyone wants to give me would be appreciated. Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TKW 501 Posted September 8, 2011 You're young, and not terribly heavy, I would think the excess skin wouldn't be much of an issue. Make sure you exercise, that will help tighten it up! Good Luck on your journey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kll724 3,055 Posted September 8, 2011 I agree with TKW, you should be able to tighten up without too much hassle. Just exercise and it should be okay. Be thankful that you are so young and don't have so much to loose. Good luck, Karen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
