You can hide that, fat you can't.

I know I'll have the same problem and I won't like it either, but I'll be healthier .

Spandex here I come!

You'll have to go to the dollar store.Buy some 3m stickum hooks and place them in strategic places on your bod.To hang your excessive empty skin on

Unfortunately, it's very doubtful, especially on your tummy.

Some insurance will pay to have it removed after massive weight loss. You should check into it.

Sorry to say, but probably not. Look into the options for revision surgery when you reach goal and maintain for 6 months or so.

Just went for my consult today... I am giving removal of the excess tummy skin serious consideration.... But FYI it doesn't prevent me from fitting into size 8 jeans...

GROSS! If you can't be positive or helpful don't post.

I saw 4 plastic surgeons and they all said the same thing.

If you lose 60 + pounds... no matter how much exercise you do the lose skin will not go away... and age does not matter.

I had an extended Tummy Tuck (from hip to hip) almost around to my bum and had 16 lbs of skin removed and I had 4 lbs of skin removed from each "manboobies".

I was so glad to have the extra skin removed.

Make sure you "interview" more than one doctor. I was very happy with my doctor and he was also very familiar with the lapband.

I figured it was from yo yo dieting that this loose skin was not going away. Anyways, my insurance does not cover plastic surgery and I still fit in my pants moving this skin around but life goes on and like they said we are healthier and I buy my dollar lottery ticket in hopes of someday having it removed if I hit the lottery. Until then I guess we are all in the same boat and we should just make the best of it. I still feel wonderful and look good, my husband has been with me for 33 years in so many different sizes from 8 to 24 that he is just happy with me the way I am. Be happy and change what you can and learn to accept what we can't change.
