Re: Solution to loose skin after weight loss?????

I'm interested in any suggestions for this also. I know I'll have this issue as I get closer to my goal of 100 lbs lost, but even now I'm noticing loose skin (I have lost 41 pounds.)

Also, give your skin time. It took a long time to stretch, and it will take time to tighten back up. A lot of it depends on your age and heredity too.

Although I chose not to have Gastric Bypass Surgery myself, I am in contact with my old support group from when I was contemplating it. From those who have had the surgery and lost 100+ pounds, I have learned a lot about loose skin. The advice I see given most often is just wait. Many plastic surgeons won't even meet with them until a year after the weight loss surgery, to allow time for the skin to tighten up itself.

For myself, I will wait, but I want to be actively waiting; doing whatever I can to help the skin along.

Thanks for asking this question; I'll be watching for replies!
