| Will the skin shrink?
If you saw the movie Click, you know my fear. I have always been heavy, (well, since after college, when I could afford to buy food), but I had the belly go to that next level, where it bulges out a bit. In Click, he has suden weight loss, and his skin flaps back and forth like a giant tongue off his belly. Freaky. I talked to a lady that had the Bypass, and she had the skin 'trimmed' after she lost the weight. Since I am hopefully losing the weight slower, will I have to go through that, or will my skin shrink down to fit the new shape?
Just curious...

If you lose the weight too fast you will have a skin flap. Just FYI that cosmetic surgery is EXPENSIVE and PAINFULL...
I've lost 85lbs so far and I have a little loose skin, my plan is to tighten it back up with a bigger chest...

Just curious... | Everyone is different.....but chances are you will have a little loose skin, especially considering how much weight you are looking to lose.
