Has anyone had excess skin removed?

I've lost nearly 10 stone now. At BMI 25 but got so much excess loose skin on my lower body and thighs.

Has anyone had excess skin removed? Did you like the results? Was it worth it?

I haven’t. But congratulations on the weight loss and for reaching a healthy bmi. It’s can’t have been easy. I am sorry I can’t provide the information you need and hope someone will be along that can. I think you should go for it though.

I do know of someone who had the surgery several years ago. He had to go private as it wasn't available on the NHS. It went well and he has kept the weight off and seems to be active and in good health.

Wow, well done. May I ask how you did it?

My neighbour did and is over the moon about it. It went very well. Congratulations by the way you're bloody awesome

Well done! That's such an achievement. Can't help with the query but just wanted to say well done.

I did it one stone at a time and tracked every calorie. After five stones dropped I joined a gym as I needed fewer calories so need to expend more. The last two stones would not move but took Wegovy and got there.

My one thing is that I need way less calories than I thought I did. I'm tall but if I near 2000 calories a day, I gain.
