Hey folks -
Just wondering, has anyone had any cosmetic surgery like abdominoplasty (e.g. tummy tuck) after a dramatic weight loss? I lost over 100 lbs some time ago and now have empty pockets of skin around my abdomen and other areas. I've been able to build up muscle to fill in the pockets of skin around my arms and chest but I was told that I'll never be able to completely fill in the loose skin around my abs with muscle, especially since I struggled with my weight for an extended time period.
What has been your experience dealing with loose skin if you lost a lot of weight dramatically? Have you had the surgery? Thoughts?
