Depends upon how much skin you are talking about ...

What is your BMI?

If it is too severe, your insurance will most likely pay for a panniculectomy as it would be needed for health reasons.

My BMI is 51.8 I am 21 and weigh 185kg (407lbs) ad my height is 189cm and I live in Australia so idk what happens with that here i think they consider tummy tucks and stuff cosmetic here i had to pay 4,000 of the surgery costs here and the rest medicare pays for i think thats Australian health insurance. What you think? U reckon i will bounce back? I was 110kg 5 years ago and thats my goal weight :)

I think age and if you've had children will also affect the outcome. Why worry now, concentrate. On losing first and giving your skin enough time to bounce back.

I don't think he's had children :)

But you do look young so your skin will stand a good chance if bouncing back !

I worried about that too pre surgery (loose skin)

But I'm a lot older than you!

I decided I will cross that bridge when I come to it!

Age and the length of time being obese are factors in loose skin. You have both working in your favor. Your elasticity will be far greater than us old farts who were obese for many years.

My only regret was going so long in life being obese... You will bounce back much better at age 21 and oh my gosh your life will become so much easier!!! No worries! I'm actually very jealous of you young people :) smart decision

I agree, you have age on your side. Try not to get too down if you have some initially. My guess it will bounce back (tighten up) a lot sooner than for us "old farts" like Pdxman said. :P

You are young with probably plenty of elasticity left . If you work out often with your weight loss I reckon you should bounce back pretty well.If the loose skin causes medical issues ie rashes,sores etc I would think that it would still be covered with Australian insurance or maybe since you are young you may be able to pull from your Super and build it back up? I will be back in OZ for 3 years at the end of the year and will be working so I will take my Super Money out when I leave and I may be using it for plastics:)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
