Loose skin after Gastric Sleeve

[Missariana39 2]

I am 18 years old, 5' 4 and I weigh 230 pounds. I was wondering if anyone similar to my stats, who have had this surgery had to deal with loose skin after getting sleeved?

I'm not your age, but the thing you have on your side is your youth. Losing a large amount while you're still young means your skin likely will rebound much, much better than in your 30s or 40s.

If you lose weight slower, and make sure to exercise and keep hydrated and hit your Protein goals, you should be okay, and once you hit goal weight, your skin will continue to improve; most plastic surgeons won't even evaluate you until you've been a stable weight for one year because they know skin continues to tighten and adjust during that time. You may be lucky and not have any issues after a few years. But anything that doesn't tighten up can be fixed eventually if it is really bugging you.

The big thing is that a little loose skin is nothing compared to how great you'll feel losing all that weight.

I'm 28 5'3 and weighed 240 when I started this journey. I've lost 32 lbs so far and my skin doesn't feel saggy at all. My boobs are a little droopy but that's what a good bra is for lol. Your young skin has more elasticity in it and you should not have much extra skin if any. Try using Vitamin e oil . That helps.
