But, is she the norm for the amount of weight she had to lose? I have
a lot to lose. I have lost about 45 and have over 125 to go. I am
really fat. So, it is close enough to what she lost. But, I am not
doing it with gastric bypass and she did. Would that cause the weight
loss SO fast that the result is so much skin. Was there something
wrong with her skin? Did she not exercise? What can I do to NOT look
like that!

I lost 150 lbs and have saggy skin but nothing like those pictures. The
sagging is a result of many factors but mostly genetics and how long you
were fat. My doctor and plastic surgeon both said that since I was obese
since childhood and my mom had skin problems after pregnancies there was no
weight loss plan (slow or fast) or cream or any other thing that would have
kept me from having the loose skin. All told between torso/legs/arms it was
once estimated that I had close to 20 lbs of skin that could be removed by
surgery. You also need to be at a stable weight for 2 years before you can
consider any lifts or tucks.
