rte837 141 Posted January 22, 2017 Depending on your age and amount of weight lost; you WILL have loose skin and no cream in the world is going to fix it. The trade off to a big wt. loss is loose skin. The trade off to surgery for loose skin is a scar. AGAIN; age and amount lost dependent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
#fitnotfat 42 Posted January 23, 2017 Thank you for the suggestions, your right rte837 I'm gonna have it and I'm prepared for it but will try anything that may help along the way also. 8 days to surgery so just getting myself sorted ????

GBLady41 393 Posted January 24, 2017 There are people who end up not having loose skin. It does depend on age and highest weight, a lot of people will have loose skin. But not everyone. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nearperfectmess 115 Posted January 30, 2017 There are people who end up not having loose skin. It does depend on age and highest weight, a lot of people will have loose skin. But not everyone. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App GBLady41 is absolutely right. I worried myself SICK about loose skin prior to surgery (that sounds so vain, but it's a concern!). I'm 149lbs down and I have some pooching around my belly (fortunately nothing around my arms or legs), and I am DAMN PROUD of it. Maybe someday I'll look at getting that tiny bit removed, but I am so proud of that little bit of skin, b/c it means that that weight is GONE. That belly - is GONE. It sounds crazy now, because I was so worried about it before surgery, but you begin to focus on all of the positives afterward. Being health > a bit of loose skin any day of the week!
