I saw a thread just like this a couple weeks ago and, yes there have been several here that have lost 100#+ that have have no notable skin issues.

I think it depends on your age and history. I have a friend that did the Lap Band, she was 26 at the time and lost about 110 lbs...no issues at all. I have another friend that also did the Lap, we was 45 at the time, with 3 kids and lost about 95 lbs...she had issues. Nothing she couldn't deal with, but she would never put on a bathing suit because of her legs and arms. I think there are ways to have the insurance cover some of the cosmetic surgery, talk to your sleeve surgeon.

I have lost 77 lbs and have some skin dilemma's, nothing I can't deal with though. :) My doc and others told me I look so much more younger now. ;)
