My skin was a little loose, just around my tummy and I suspect my thighs after my seven and a half stone weight loss which took three and a half years to loose. (To bad I put it all back on four years ago, but I'm having a crack at loosing it all again. Hope springs eternal.)
The bit of loose skin around my thighs preventing thigh gap was galling as I'd lost so much weight just for my legs to look the same shape just smaller. However, no more thigh chafing so that suited me just fine.
The little bit of loose skin on my tummy was hardly worth worrying about. I would rather have that than the permanent scar of an operation. I'll save that for when I need an operation should one be required for a genuine medical reason in the future.
It was no where near as bad as these people you see on t.v. who need post rapid weight loose skin surgery.
Note to self: loose weight slowly, give your body a chance to get used to it. I knew someone who must have lost their weight quite rapidly as their arms still had these flappy bingo wings due to loose skin despite the weight loss.
I put the loose skin down to my age and the lost weight. The elasticity of skin diminishes with age. So weight loss plus middle age is probably going to loose skin. That's not an excuse not to loose weight, though !
