Alot of people have asked me the same question, so I'm going to post my response here so that everyone can read it. I hope it helps:
Congrats on your journey. As far as excess skin, it really depends on a few factors. 1)age 2) genetics and 3) how much work you put in (workouts). I am insane with workouts. I am VERY fortunate to have VERY little excess skin so I will not have to have surgery. I have been able to work my skins elasticity into great shape by weight training and swimming (a GREAT after surgery passtime). I am nearly 35 so still young enough for my skin to conform back to its shape. My problem areas were my arms and inner thighs, but I'm working hard to get that toned and it is working. Follow your protein regime because it helps EAT/BURN the fat as you lose weight. If you work out after surgery you will HAVE to increase your protein intake to about 100 grams per day. (Working out BURNS Protein fast so u have to supplement more). If you have any more questions, feel free to contact me! Peace and Love to ALL.
