How much weight does one have to lose before loose skin becomes a problem?
Takfam asked:
I am currently dieting. I watched a special last night about a (formerly) morbidly obese gentleman who underwent the gastric bypass surgery and lost nearly 500lbs, but his loose skin still made him appear quite overweight. I’m planning on losing 100lbs over the next year (I really let myself go after I quit my first job awhile back). Will loose skin be a problem when I’m done? I’d almost rather be fat than look like a deflated balloon.
