You should be fine, but something to know...My dr told me this when i asked about exercise and lotion helping , He laughed at me! He say's the exercise would help me firm up, and lotion will make my skin soft. but it WONT make it shrink back FASTER. There is nothing that will speed up the process, it just takes 1-2 years to shrink back. at first it is a little bit like a deflated balloon. I was glad he told me because i would have been killing myself to do it and thought i was just failing at something once again! Don't get me wrong, i was fanatical about cocoa butter and just recently i have been hitting the gym to become More Fabby and Less Flabby! i just wanted you to know what to expect! love Rainbow
Boliver, No i did not have surgery to remove extra skin. I lost aprox 125 lbs and did have some saggy skin, not too bad though. My dr said to wait 1 to 2 years AFTER the weightloss because the skin just takes that long to shrink back on its own. After 2 years if i still have excess that i am un happy with then i should look into it. So far he has been right, after 1 and 1/2 year i do notice quite a difference and probably will not have surgery because i am Broke, and chicken about going under the knife again! If you have 200 or more to lose then the excess skin is more of an issue 150 or less is usually not much of a problem. Love Rainbow
