I am 7 weeks post op and have lost about 30 lbs since surgery and 45 since beginning in December 2011.....my highest weight was 249...I am now floating around 205,206 ish.....anywho...I have extra skin already on my upper thighs! Wtf!!! I knew I would have it on my abdomin but not my legs....I did just buy a thigh master off of ebay so maybe that will help....I'm only 29....anyone else going through this?????

I did, it goes in phases. I would notice I would stall after a large loss, then the skin improves, then I would lose more weight, notice some sagginess-- then the skin improves. In total I have almost zero loose skin at this point and I am almost to goal!!

It might go down. I lost around 50 lbs on my own a few years back and had extra skin on my very upper inner thighs, lower stomach area, and some little "batwings". They all tightened up, but it took a couple of months. I used firming lotions religiously, twice a day as well as dry brushing my skin every night. Now that I gained it all back plus more and now have 120 lbs to lose, I'm hoping it won't be too bad once I get there, but I'm already back on my skin routine.

I'm 56 lbs down and am noticing a LOT of loose skin! I am a member of a gym and exercise regularly so I'm hoping to firm some of it up....if it doesn't....I'd rather be skinny with loose skin than fat and fluffy!
