I will be having the lab band surgery done in the next 2 months and I wanted to know if once you loose the weight will there be extra skin and if so will excercize help to tone it up?
If you have lap band surgery will you have a lot of extra skin when you loose weight?
there are a couple of things to consider....your age - the younger you are the more elasticity you have in your skin, next is how much you plan to lose....if you are having this surgery i assume you to be at least 100 lbs overweight (usually this is one of the criteria to qualify for the procedure) ...losing a lot of weight could cause excess skin, last it depends on how quickly you lose it....if you lose it too quick it could cause your skin to not shrink back down like it should....if this is a concern for you then proper excersise and toning is your key...good luck to you
Reply:if anyone loses a large amount of weight, they will have extra skin, because skin wont shrink back that much after being stratched out for so long
Reply:Depends on two things. Age. and how much weight comes off. If you are lets say 40 and you lose 200 pounds your skin doesn't strink back to normal like a 20 year old would. So if you are older then yes you most likely will have a lot of skin left over. But if you are younger you won't have a real problem. Good luck.
Reply:If you lose a lot of weight, your skin will be flabby, and it won't spring back unless you're young enough for your skin to do so. (At a certain age, it's just going to hang there.) I am pretty certain there's nothing you can do exercise-wise to comabt this; my personal trainer lost approximately 160 pounds through exercise and continues to exercise, but her skin hangs because of her age when she lost the weight.
Reply:There's a program on TV (cable) that is showing people that are having that surgery. Almost all of them need plastic surgery to remove excess skin after some time. However these people are losing 100-200-300-400-500 pounds.
Ask your doctor, he/she should know.
