Time and exercise! Age has a bearing on this too: the younger you are, the
easier it is to reduce this. Surgery should be a VERY last resort, and really
only done if the lose skin does not reduce within a 2 year period.

Try exercise and massage, and give it a few months: if it reduces, keep going
with just this. It will be slow, so have patience. Some of it may never go
entirely.

pretty much in this order, time, exercise, time, and oh yeah, time, I am
not making light of this but this so depends on the individual, I have lost
about 86 pounds and am just now showing a bit of "turkey" neck and arm sag.
This could be avoided if I exercised. Lee

I have to pop in here to say, that my skin still is changing. I think
drinking all the water I do, and the weightlifting are the things that are
helping the most. My DD mentioned the other day "MOM! CHECK OUT UNDER YOUR
ARM THERE!?" and I looked, and what used to be a very floppy hangy bat wing
thing has shrank up to a Smallish floppy bat wing thing. If this can happen
to a 55 year old woman who has lost 208 pounds, you young folks need to give
it a year or two and some "iron"

That's so great Lesanne! I have been worrying about the floppy hangy things
under my arms too. I love to wear shirts/dresses with no sleeves, but my
arms aren't the nicest ones to look at. I'm 39, so I guess there's hope for
me yet!

Lots of hope, and in the meantime, wear what you want. !!! If someone
doesn't like it they can look at something else! That is one thing I "got"
from my years of just accepting my body, it is NEVER going to look like a
model, and I don't waste time checking out everyone elses' faults, don't
know or like anyone who would do that, so what do I care? I wear what I
want. I used to never wear shorts. In this weather that is very cruel. I
wear em now!

My dad always said, "if you don't like it turn your head and go the other
way". Probably won't wear shorts at goal but I am weird like that, Lee
