The amount of sagging skin depends on your age and exercise. I think that those who have this done at a younger age have less sagging skin. Exercising will help and you would need to make exercise a priority in your life if you get the sleeve.

I am 61 and expect some sagging skin but the surgeon said that he didn't think I would need any cosmetic surgery. Getting the weight off and attaining good health is really more important.

Thank you so much! I am 27 and I already have stretchmarks. Grrrr..

I am almost 29 and weigh 245 (my consultation was 269) in which they said I would be 100lbs expected to loose. Not sure if this is realistic or not. However, I am less concerned with saggy skin. I'm just going to do my best to exercise and see where it takes me. I am going to do more weight training than anything. Worse case, I'll have saggy skin but at least I'll never have diabetes.

I'm also 27 years old and weighed almost 360 earlier in March this year when I started my 6 months pre-op phase. A lot, I know. I do a ton of walking each week to lose weight before my surgery. And after the surgery, I plan on doing more exercise with weights too I'm order to tone up. But I'm still pretty young so I expect almost no saggy skin. Good luck to ya!

i have so far lost almost 60 lbs and not too saggy..loose but not sagging..so it really does depend on how fast you loose and the type of skin you have

I'm 31 and I worked out hard after being sleeved and I got massive saggy skin and in weird places to I honestly thought surgery was my only option until I found those crazy wraps and they are working so well. No surgery for this girl check it out

Suziegirl, do you have some financial interest in these wraps????

No I just want people to see that there is something out there besides skin surgery

I can't afford skin surgery so I had to find something else so I did

Just sayin' here ... every wrap I've ever heard of provides only temporary (a week or less) "shrinkage." Then everything goes back to where it was before.

I'm not to sure about that I have been using continually for a month so I can't really comment on that I haven't stopped yet I was told though that once you get to where u wanna be u only have to use it maybe every 6 months to maintain it but I could be wrong to

When all my weight is off I may consider the wraps, I've been thinking about them already but for now exersice is working just fine, a little arm sag but nothing too bad for an almost 50 year old chick like me!
