Two years out and I have loose skin, how do I get rid of it?

[PSampson 0]

Hello all. I am two years out from my surgery and I workout everyday and I can't seem to get rid of the loose skin on my arms. Also, to stay motivated I am looking for a workout buddy. I have lost 105 lbs. and I seem to have stopped. Even though I do workout everyday and eat the right foods, I just can't seem to lose anymore. I live in the philadelphia area and if you are in need of a workout buddy, please contact me. Thanks.

It's unfortunately really hard to get rid of the loose skin. I don't think any amount of exercise can help to be honest...I mean, it could tone the muscles underneath and make it look better....but probably wouldn't help much actually getting rid of the skin. My only option is going to be surgery to remove it, if it gets that bad,

I think of it this way, though - I would rather the empty loose skin than 105lbs of filling inside the skin. I hear there are some great body shapers, too.

Ok, great thanks for the advice. I am currently looking for a plastic surgeon, I know insurance companies don't usually pay for cosmetic surgery, so I have to find ones that can finance the payments.

I live in Wilmington, DE! I only just had my surgery 3 weeks ago though so I won't be at your activity level but I am looking to start working out in the next few weeks!

Surgery. You have a certain amount that will spring back but after 2 years it's sprung back all its going to.

I run 30 or more miles a week, do 4-5 hours of intense yoga a week, have killer arm muscles and 17% body fat. I needed surgery for my loose skin. Sadly I wish there was another answer, but there isn't.
