Loose skin

What have everyones experiences been with loose skin? is it something that everyone experiences with such dramatic weight loss?

I've got a lot of loose skin around my belly mostly it looks like a bottom if I play with it! And I keep squeezing it and trying to see what I could look like with it gone but don't have the funds to chop it off plus it's too soon for that anyway so I'm going to to live with it,it's a small prize to pay for my changing body

I lost 10stone (over half my starting body weight). Yes, my loose skin was not great but apart from my lost bust (just two empty socks hanging down slapping against my lower abdomen) there wasn't too much to get hung-up on. I had surgery to reconstruct my bust and decided I did not wish to put myself through any more surgery elsewhere. About 18 months ago I increased my fitness traing to five a week. It really helps me physically and the muscle I have built behind the skin defo fills it out and I look/feel less gaunt and scraggy xxxx

I'm hoping that my age and having a BMI under 40 will play in my favour, but I'm thinking about starting to save now just encase I find the skin difficult to live with. Obviously there are so many benefits that will outweigh the loose skin, I'm I do think its something that will make me self concious

I really think it's down to genetics. My heaviest weight was just under 19st, but for the last 15 years have gone between 10.5 and 16.5 st. This surgery has seen me go from 14.5 to 10.9 and my skin is dreadful. Mostly my arms, bottom and thighs. I'm due to have my arms done in the autumn as this affects me most. As an indicator to genetics, I was one of those that had horrendous stretch marks as a teenager and during pregnancy, so honestly believe my skin just wasn't up to much in the first place.

Yes, just getting the last few bits together, I'm excited but strangely not as nervous as I though I would be by now, will probably kick in when I get on the plane!
