Excess Skin Following Weight Loss
What a journey!!

Family genetics may prevent your final appearance. It also takes some time, with a consistant exercise routine to see some of this issue resolve itself. But likely, years of stretched skin may not be as firm as you like. I know several women and a couple of guys who either had a panni or opted for the self pay of plastic surgery. They had poor body image that bothered them immensely, and they feel much better about their post op skin removal surgery. You'll likely need to be at a stable wt for at least 6 months, and some surgeons require you to be 18 months post op, before plastics can be done. There is no "magical cream" that will cause the skin to shink several inches. DAVE

Theoretically, if our cells renew constantly, and they do, why shouldn't saggy skin renew itself tighter? It has to do with collagen, elastin, and whatnot, but there ought to be a way to replenish those. No doubt Big Pharma is working feverishly on this problem, because when they find the cure they're going to rule the world. I know I'll buy a vat of it, whatever it costs, and slather it on my turkey neck.
I lost 230 lbs at my lowest and right now I'm still down 215. The skin won't leave...
