Hey guys. Not too long ago I lost a lot of weight. I dropped from 220lbs, 5'11. to 165lbs 6'0. Now im starting to notice that my skin is REALLY loose around the areas that were very fatty(butt, thighs and lower abdomen). What can I do to get rid of this extra skin, or whatever it is. Any advice would help, thanks :)

Well done on the weight loss, just make sure u dont lose too much weight in a short space of time.

As for your question, I will bump this up to the top in the hope that someone more knowledgable on this situation may comment.

Good Luck

rhlgd24- congrats on the weight loss and keep up the good work!
As for the extra skin, to my knowledge, over time some of the skin will regain elasticity and go back to normal, however, depending on your situation, if there is a lot of extra skin, and it makes you feel self conscious or uncomfortable, I believe that surgery is the only way to improve things. If you went to see your doctor, he/she would be able to better determine the situation.

Again, congrats on the weight loss, and good luck!
