Well first of all OF COURSE I have to say congrats on losing WOW .... 200 lbs !!!!
I'll happily share with U everything I know about skin but I'll be very honest also - for your level right now you probably need surgical skin removal .
I can recommend you the best artist in the world to Re- sculpt you . He literally made me into a hottie from well- an apple shaped flat assed chick with a pretty face ( thank God ) and good legs .
this guy made me beautiful.... there are no words enough to thank him .

Linda's forever support and simple LOVE meant so much to me as we went through all the changes on the website .
Her whole intention was to help everyone -she was just the most beautiful peace- making soul . I?m SO sorry to lose her but I hope and believe I?ll be lucky enough to meet that beautiful Grrrl again one day .
LOVE YOU LINDA ! ((())) xxxx

I really imagined that I banished the lifelong self discipline issues that allowed me to comfort myself with excess food until the extra weight I am wearing now made it undeniable .
Now, many years post op and after my body almost totally normalized itself I?m having to learn actual food discipline. I?m trying to time myself not to eat emotionally comforting bites between meals, to move every day and record ( and cut down ) what I eat .
I never realized how hard this was .
Being relatively young my skin bounced back I felt wonderful and even beautiful but lately I?ve just been so down and frustrated and fearful I could lose everything and that?s made me turn to food and round the clock tv.
Please be so kind as to help with suggestions that worked for you .
It honestly feels IMPOSSIble to get myself and my food cravings and physical laziness under control ... But I want it so much ... Yet I can't do it . Ty (((())))

I'd choose the RNY . Sounds like you need the extra forever weight loss boost it provides . You're lucky to have this choice .

long line briefs (lots of unisex options) and layering tanks. they can be compression or loose depending on your choice but even the loose ones can smooth things out.

wear loose clothes - and depending on where the skin is, long-ish tops (like tunic length)
What are some better ways l can hide my excess skin till i get. Skin removal surgery, i have gone from 650 lbs to 450 lbs
You and I have the same surgery date. June 7th. I am both excited and nervous, although the nervous part may just be hunger pangs as a result of the pre op liquid diet
I just instantly knew that I would be in good hands when I meant my surgeon and his team. I had done my research beforehand and once I met them all I felt good about my choices.
The only thing you can do other than learning to live with it, is to have plastic surgery to have it removed. Considering how much excess skin you would have from being so big, I would think your health insurance would pay for at least one surgery to have at least your pannus (hanging belly) removed as it can be a health issue. Check with your insurance. And congrats on the 200 lb loss!!
