weight loss skin loose
Has anyone had success with loosing loose belly skin after weight loss/pregnancy?
I am 22. I am 5′7″ and will probably weigh 270 after I have my little girl in 5 weeks. I have a 15 month old as well and I gained 70 lbs with her and 40 with this one…my stomach already hangs down quite a bit at the bottom and I am 35 weeks pregnant. I want to lose the weight(100-120lbs) after baby, but I was wondering if surgery is my only answer to get rid of loose skin after the weight loss. Has anyone lost the skin or most of it?…I am only 22 I dont want my stomach to hang way low. 
Please help me.

How To Tighten Loose Skin After Weight Loss
Some people find it hard to imagine your skin as an elastic organ that can stretch and shrink at will, but that is exactly what it is. As you gain weight, your skin stretches and stretches in order to keep up with the expanding body fat. Although weight loss is the best solution if you want to get rid of those extra pounds, losing the weight can result in loose and sometimes flabby leftover skin. The question is: How do you get rid of it?
Flabby Skin Must Go!
The motto “patience, patience, patience” applies now more than ever. If you think about how much time it takes to gain and lose weight, you must realize that the skin simply needs time to catch up to your changing body size. The first suggestion is to begin using aloe vera extract, yeast extract, and soy protein in order to build up your body’s supply of elastin and collagen. This will in turn improve the elasticity of your skin. A diet rich in raw foods such as fruits and vegetables can also improve your skin’s elasticity.
Second, begin a daily exfoliation regimen in order to remove dead skin cells. Doing so stimulates circulation throughout your skin, which will increase the elasticity, as well. Even if you cannot invest in daily skin treatments, you can effectively exfoliate your skin with granulated sugar.
Finally, measure your exact body fat percentage because a lot of the time, loose skin is really excess body fat.
Despite the fact that a lot of television shows and other media outlets make it seem as though surgery is the only way to get rid of loose skin, disregard all of that. Surgery should only be considered as an absolute last resort because it can be very risky. Give your body the time it needs to adjust to all of the changes. This is why patience applies now more than ever.
