Loose Skin for Younger Sleevers?

[nynewlywed 17]

Im very interested to hear from you younger Sleevers out there (i'm 27) whether or not you have issues with loose skin, how much weight you've lost, how much u exercised during weight loss and in maintenance and if you've looked into plastics what the general cost estimates you've gotten.

Many many people have told me that my age is def on my side but i'm curious for those of you at goal and maintaining as I know your skin continues to respond for a couple years post weight loss.

Thank you all in advance for taking the time to reply. This forum has been a constant reinforcement for my new life style and "friend" throughout this whole process. I am 27, 5'7" started over 300 (was only over 300 for a few months), 5.5 months out from surgery and down over 100 lbs. (hoping to lose another 80)

I'm not a "younger sleever", but I do have some loose skin. From everything I've read and been told you should wait about 2 years before considering any kind of plastic surgery because your skin can still rebound.

Congrats on your success so far!

Thanks Sue! How much weight did you lose? Have you noticed any improvement? I already have some around my belly button, it's like a frown hahah. I wouldn't consider plastics until after i have a couple of kids (18 months postop is the goal) since my stomach will just stretch back out anyway!

I've lost 90lbs. I have some wrinkly skin around my tummy, thighs and upper arms. I'm 9 months out so I still have some time for some of it to hopefully rebound. Time will tell!
