Congratulations on the weight loss, that is some serious progress!

That being said, you posted this in the All Access section, so are you following an All Access program? Loose skin will eventually tighten up, but it does take time. If you are looking to bulk, there are some excellent programs in All Access.

I would bulk, fill out a bit, and give it more time. It should tighten up more as you do this; you're skin is not too bad and you are young. It might not get completely back to normal, but I think it will become far less noticeable.

I think it's worth doing while you are younger because the scars will be less noticeable then if you have it done while you are older.

Also I think its nice to be thin, as I am sure you have noticed after such a drastic loss. If it were me I wouldn't be in a hurry to bulk up.

I have been doing that It is nice , but I want to gain 20 pounds I legit get called stick by people who never knew I was fat my lifts got way better from like 85 pound bench to 160 pound bench niw 365 deadlift 250 squat 162 6'2

Nice good progress keep at it and you won't be a stick figure.

My goal is to just get the surgery get to where im at now cuz I won't be able to lift for 1.50 months , and 3 months for squat / deadlift then lean bulk to 185 see how I feel there

Sounds reasonable. You'll get any strength loss back pretty fast, a few months isn't a big deal. Just make sure you research your surgeon and see one that isn't going to mess you up.

Oh I did I already had the consultation he has 4.50 stars , and has the best reviews in my area he is also the most expensive lol

You're 16? I would wait on getting the surgery until after you man muscles are developed (say around 22) then get the surgery if it's still needed/wanted.

Bro im going to get it U really wanna look the best I can it's not gonna get much better on it's own imagine not taking your shirt off unless your laying down during sex cuz thats the only way my skin looks normal

[sowilson]

I would weigh looking like crap for 5 years vs potentially looking like crap for the next 50. But hey, you're 16 and know everything there is to know about everything. I would work hard on getting stronger and bulking somewhat until your man body has developed (you're still a kid) then take care of the loose skin.

That is a good point you may end up finding that the skin will go away as you get larger and older. You are still very young. Remember that a surgeons job is to perform surgeries. As the saying goes, "if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail". Maybe wait until you are 18, and think about it. You will probably gain a lot of muscle in the next couple years and fill out more.
