So a part of me is afraid of losing weight because I have had it for so long that I might have a lot of excess skin.
I am 6'6"
My SW - 386
CW - 263
GW - 230
I do not really look like I have loose skin, but there is a fear I will once I reach my GW.
Are there any guys out there that were once in my position?

I'm afraid of that as well but time will tell and I guess I'd rather skin than fat if I had to choose!0

Hey bud,
I went from 300 lbs down to 168 lbs (highest weight to lowest), and currently weigh 234 lbs. We are at a similar height, I'm 6'3", I see your a big guy too. Let me talk to you about my experience.
I was quite heavy as I mentioned before. I moved to China for about a year, and in that time I became quite ill and dropped weight very quickly. I lost over 75 lbs in a matter of about 4 months. This rapid weight loss caused me to have some extra skin around my midsection. The most excess skin was on my stomach, and a little bit on my chest. My advice to you is, exercise as much as possible. Weight training will make a big difference while you are losing weight. Don't lose weight to quickly, weight train, and your chances of having loose skin is much lower.
I recently had a cosmetic surgery procedure to remove my excess skin, but I doubt it would have been necessary if I had lost weight properly and exercised during the whole ordeal.0
