Question:
Did you have alot of extra skin hanging after your weight loss?

I weigh close to 325 pounds and am considering RNY. Do you think I will have alot of loose skin after I lose my weight?    — peaches51 (posted on September 12, 2009)

OH yes..boy do I have the skin. Started at 288..so far down 130lbs and a ton of wrinkled loose hangin skin..BUT much healthier & happier. Need tube socks for boobs. One of us need to invent "skin clips" to roll up our skin and hide for us. My arms wave at people for me..but thats ok!

I weighed 360 pounds and now am 158 pounds. Oh yes there will be some skin sagging. But I don't care, I feel awesome and I wear clothes to cover it...I bet I could jump off of a building and fly, fly away...lol

Dear Julie, you will notice skin hanging fairly quickly. I'm done 74 pounds and already have lots of loose skin.My suggestion would be to start saving up to have plastic surgery to tighten skin after you lose. Sincerely, JoAnn

I weighed 369 at my highest - have lost 140 lbs - and my oh my, yes! I look like a deflated balloon - actually, several deflated balloons. I especially liked one response that they need tube socks for their boobs - so true! But I am having plastic surgery (belt lipectomy) in December! Yea! The book, arms and thighs will have to wait a little while - the stomach and butt must come first!
