okay, so I have a lot of weight to lose, over a hundred pounds. I have to admit I'm slightly worried about sagging skin. I'm wondering if anyone here has come up with anything that can be done from the beginning to eliminate the sag. Right now I'm using this stuff called Bio-oil, used to get rid of stretchmarks I'm trying to see if it will have the opposite effect when I start to lose the weight. I'm working on keeping the elasticity of the skin at it's max. Is there any other advice u guys have?
It's been said that losing weight more slowly results in less loose skin; however, I think it has more to do with how long you've carried the excess weight, your age, your activity level and probably lots of other things. I lost 60+ pounds and I do have quite a bit of loose skin in my stomach area. And that's where I carried most of my weight.
If I had the funds, I would definitely consider having some surgery to remove the loose skin.
