theres alot of mommys out there that wish for a cure also! lol...i think time will eventually shrink some of it back up...but i think anything with strtech marks thru it is gonna stay kinda saggy no matter what. my goal to lose 12lbs more and maintain it for over a year (to see what my belly skin does) then im going for a tummy tuck. i figure if i busted my *kitten* this hard, i deserve to feel my best and if its going to take surgery to get there, then im gonna do it. no shame......CONGRATS TO YOU!!!!! 130 lbs! SO AWESOME!0

I have lost over 100lbs and have saggy skin here and there. I plan on doing strength training to tone up, and see if it helps. If it doesn't....then....oh well? I'll be healthy. That was the whole point of this journey. Not to win swim suit competitions. Spending $22k to cut up my body just to LOOK GOOD? Wow. In 15 years, all of that is going to sag again. I mean...spend your money on what you want. It just seems a little superficial.0

I was under the impression that if you are younger your skin will unstretch.0

I think skin unstretches if you only reach a certain size, but above that size - whatever it may be, I don't think it's pinging back in place.0

I didnt do it just to look good. I felt awful having huge flaps of skin all over my body. It was disgusting. Now I am comfortable taking my clothes off and looking in the mirror. To say that is superficial is a little moronic. I had about a 5 inch flap at my stomach as well as each breast. As any guy who has man boobs and every single one would tell you that they hate them. I hated how my body felt and now I love it. I would of paid double the price for them to "cut up my body".0 -

Don't blame you!!! When I've lost a lot more weight, and if I have the money, I will be having bits cut off!0 -

Lots of great ideas, and congratulations!! I'm not there yet, but the loose skin i'm seeing is staring to bother me. Going to start the gym and strengthening and hopefully that helps.0
