excellent job on the weight loss btw :

But yeah, about that loose skin, my sister-in-law lost a lot of weight and deals with the same problem. Mainly the skin on her arms (tricep area) and i'm not sure what to tell you. From what i've heard, it doesn't go away, or takes a really long time to go away. Skin can stretch, but it's not elastic, so it won't shrink back down on its own. The only solution that i've heard is surgery...but don't quote me. I'd like to hear what others have to say as well. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

You don't need surgery. It will eventually shrink back. It can take as long as a year. It depends on how elastic the skin is.

Do a search on this site it has been discussed several times.

The faster you lose your fat, the greater the loose-skin problem. Time and skin elasticity are the keys to losing it.
