Question Weightloss= flabby skin?

Hi, I am trying to find out if you have had flabby skin after some weight loss. I do not want to have alot of extra skin. I am somewhat luck because most of my weight is on my stomach, but I do not want to have alot of flab. Did this happen to you? What kind of steps can I take to make this go away? Basically I want to avoid surgery.

I'm definitely not an expert, but I've lost 106 lbs w/ about 40 or so to go and I am actually very pleased w/ my lack of sagginess so far. I am 41 and was quite worried about my skin coming back. I will have to wait and see what the next losses bring. But for now I'm happy.

I do walk briskly 3 miles everyday. And I think that helps.

I'm 57 and have lost some of the elastisity that youth gives you. Besides that things have just naturaly started heading south but I am not so saggy after loosing 69 pounds the past year. I'm happy with whats happening.
