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!


Why don't you lose weight and worry about your appearance later? You're
all in a tizzy over something that may not even apply to you. If this
woman was your *sister* it still might not happen to you!

I lost nearly 100 pounds and I'm only 5 feet tall. I don't think the
amount of loose skin I have is *that* much more than any average 49 yo
woman. I'd rather be healthy and fit than fret over my skin.

One thing for sure, I would never have GB surgery. My best advice would
be to exercise while losing weight slowly. Btw - I really only walked
while I did.
