Compression shirt
I totally agree with you. That is why exercising will only HELP.
I didn't undergo WLS. But I went from 180 pounds to 132 pounds in 1 year and 4 months. That is through exercising regulary and proper diet. I still have some belly fat, loose skin, and stretch marks at the moment. But I can see that my excess skin is getting smaller every month.

My compression shirt blog review
Exercise and sweat will NOT help skin "get back to normal". The skin has both stretched and grown. Nothing will "un-grow" the skin, and the amount of elasticity -- which governs how much the skin can contract -- is not affected by exercise or sweat. It is a matter of your age, your genes, how heavy you were, and how long you were heavy. Exercise can only help build up the muscles below the skin which can make small amounts of extra skin appear more taut.
If exercise and sweat could get rid of extra skin, no one who has had WLS would need plastic surgery.
