[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2282630, member: 355878"] I lost quite a bit of weight, got quite an apron hanging down - but now it has gone. My upper arms are not as floppy as they were. I think that it just takes a bit of time for the skin to catch up. I do wonder if the quite seriously major operations done post bariatric surgery are done as a quick fix never mind the risk ploy. When sumo wrestlers retire they slim down from huge weights to normal sizes and - it is reported, they do not need skin removal. I did find a couple of small tee shirts and cut the tops off so I could wear them around my middle to support the apron - so my skin was not folded over in hot weather as I was getting sore, and I suppose that might have helped, but these days it is not a problem, it just took a bit of time. I am 69 now, diagnosed at 65, but improvement is still possible. [/QUOTE]
