If you lose a lot of weight will it ultimately lead to surgery to cut off excess skin etc ? Or if you go to the gym and diet at the same time will that skin be filled with muscle ? Thanks for any answers

    Depends on your age. If you're young I would wait and give your outer skin and inner skin the nutrients it needs to tighten up. Gaining muscle will speed up the process.

    It depends on age, genetics, and how fast you lose the weight (slower is better). Exercise, plus making sure you don't short yourself on protein as you lose the weight, may also help.

    Genetics, age, rate of loss, amount of loss, and time are all factors.

    I lost 190lbs (so far). I had a tummy-tuck because of the loose skin on my stomach that never shrank back. My arms and face do not look like I was ever obese, that skin shrank back.

    While time and staying healthy (nutrition, hydration, and exercise) can help with loose skin, it's mostly a genetics dictated crap shoot.
