I have a lot of lose skin. I had gastric-bypass and lost weight really quickly. MY lose skin has become the one thing on my body I hate more than my weight. And I want to continue watching what I'm eating and starting up with exercise, but I'm afraid I'm just going to create more lose skin. It's really holding me back.

Is there anything I can do about the lose skin? They didn't go over this in the class I had to take before my surgery. And I really need the motivation to keep doing the weight loss I planned.

    You have your youth going for you. But you should know that it can take up to two years for your skin to shrink to fit your new smaller you. Genetics play a part as does nutrition. Make sure that you are eating your "good fats". There was another thread that suggested that Preparation H (the Canadian, not the U.S. version) will shrink baggy skin. You can order it online from Canada.
