OK, I know this is probably silly but:
I have gradually, over two year, lost just over 2 stones. Not a great deal as I have another 6 to lose. At this rate, I will be in my coffin before i get slim........
anyway, thats not my question.
I am in my 50's and some of the skin where I have lost it (all my weight seems to be on my tummy) hangs a bit. I am truly terrified of ending up like the people I see on YouTube, surrounded by hanging skirts of empty skin, with fungal infections and worse.
Out of the frying pan, into the fire, if you see what I mean.
Is this what will happen even if i lose it very slowly like I have been doing? If so, there is no way I would be able to afford a private surgery, or have the guts to go through with surgery (big phobia)
As so many here have lost vast amounts of weight, would you mind sharing what happened to your skin please? I am so upset about this that I am not sure I want to lose any more weight if i turn into a human elephant and swop obesity related issues for infected skin issue.
help!!!!
