Teta007 0 Posted May 9, 2008 I am 64 with a BMI of 42. I am going to get a lap band in Mexico by Dr. Aceves. One of my main fears is the loose skin. Has anyone else in their 60's lost a lot of weight and if so, did you have a lot of loose skin? I am afraid I am going to look like I am 90 years old and I can't afford more surgery.

Foofy 0 Posted May 9, 2008 Maybe someone will tell you that your skin will snap back like a teenagers, but the plain truth is that it probably won't. Visit the Plastic Surgery forum and you will see that PS seems to be a fact of life for big losers who want smooth skin. But, ask yourself, it is better to be 100 pounds overweight with smooth skin or a normal weight with some folds and wrinkles. Body shapers can hide a LOT under clothes. Don't worry about it. Focus on losing the weight and you'll have a chance to LIVE to 90. People who are morbidly obese generally never make it that far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
