I'm kinda in the same boat bro. Loose skin will tighten up as you get smaller.. provided you're losing weight the healthy way and not just dropping 10lbs a week lol

I think you just need to get to an even lower BF% and then see if its still there when you're around 10% if so maybe surgery will be a last resort.

surgery is the last resort...... but i feel like not to take it.....

If it makes you feel better, losing the weight slowly doesn't mean you won't get loose skin. You probably would've gotten it either way.

I am trying to pack on mass to fill loose skin... Especially under the arms. Since I have built up some muscle the skin under my arms just hangs. If I raise my arms is pulls tight but if I lean left or right it sags and I cant stand it.

I didnt loose weight fast. I had been fat all my life with no muscle at all. Now I am stuck with and flap that hangs in the ab area and the under arm area. I also thought about surgery but I want to keep lifting for a couple years to see what I get from that first.

keep hydrated, use cocoa butter lotion 2-3 times a day.

i lost 118 lbs dropped down from 330 to 212

I have very little loose skin, but to give it a break i began bulking up in the last 6 weeks.

Have gained 12 lbs, waist has remained the same so i'm guessing i'm on the right track.
