Thank you There's not much you can do to avoid it completely but lots of strength training, weights, lots of running and just exercise in general has helped me firm up. Age and elastic skin is also on my side

Once I get the ok from my doctor I'm definitely going to start working out. I just turned 30 but I've always been a big girl not as big as this year but yes I'm at 263 right now. Well I hope I'm as lucky as you and don't have much lose skin.

And the photo in shirts is inspirational... I am dreaming if the day in an get my shirts (bit as small as yours, though!) back out of my closet/cupboard and starry wearing them agin.

Thank you got posting

Thought I would check back in and share a wee bit about my sleeved life as I will be 1 year post op tomorrow!

Started my journey 275lbs and now 165lbs - at 5"9 this was my personal goal. I have stalled or maintained this weight for about 2 months now whilst lowering my body fat %.

Two exciting things within this year 1) I got engaged! 2) I am doing my first half marathon in 3 weeks!

I eat pretty much whatever I like these days - I do have to be careful as bad habits are re-forming. I have to have chocolate every day! One thing I can attribute my success to definitely is my activity levels running and strength training.

Here is a pic of my trying on my first pair of short shorts ever in my life! I didnt buy them because I still dont think I can pull them off! I'm a mummy! Nice to do up that zip though. Size US 6 http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/smile.png
