Congratulations on your decision to get weight loss surgery! Are you doing RNY or VSG?
The thing with loose skin is that there are so many factors that go into whether you will have loose skin or not. Your age, your genetics, how quickly you gained the weight, how quickly you lose the weight, your skin elasticity, whether you worked out before the surgery and work out during the surgery, etc etc etc. So unfortunately, I do not have a clear cut answer for you. Based off of my own experience and the experiences of others who have had large amounts of weight loss and weight fluctuation, loose skin is extremely common and will probably be something you’re left with after your weight loss. However, there is always the option to get plastic surgery to remove your loose skin after. Working out does help (to some extent) with tightening skin, but there are so many factors that go into it as well. Don’t worry about the loose skin afterwards – because what’s more important is that you are getting healthy and ready to live a fit, long, wonderful life!
