What has people done when you have lost all that weight and your skin has not tightened back up and you have flabby skin all over what did you do?

unfortunately there is not much you can do. once the elasticity is gone it's not coming back. This is why people get Skin surgery and tummy tucks. I have it too and I hate it.

My bat wings (ha!) were pretty bad when I started to lose weight, and I was worried about them getting worse as I lost. I've been doing strength training consistently, and I noticed yesterday that my arm flab is shrinking. So, it seems to me that strength training is the best fix, but as other people have said, there will be a certain amount of lose skin that you just can't do anything with.

I used Bio Oil. After the birth of my son my stretch marks were quite prominent. They're now barely visible- you really can only see them in certain angles of light. The loose skin that was on my lower belly has also returned to what it was pre-pregnancy. It took 6 months of use, twice daily. I don't know the exact science behind it, but it hydrates the skin which in turn helps with elasticity. Expensive but it worked for me.

I spoke to a plastic surgeon, he said you need to maintain your weight for a year, the skin will shrink back as far as it's going to be able to in that year, and the rest can be taken off with a tummy tuck. I still think that strength training and bio oil will make a huge difference in that time frame too.
