[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 60 years old and I went from 162 pounds in August to 145 pounds today. I plan to lose 15 more pounds in the next 3-4 months. Just diet and exercise, [b]no drugs[/b]. My tummy does bulge a little but doesn’t really hang down. As the weight comes off will it become like a sagging pannus or will it look flat? Any experiences in this matter? 162 is my all time high nonpregnancy weight.[/quote]
Do drugs give you an apron tummy? [/quote]

No they do not. Significant weight loss does regardless of drugs. [/quote]

Some of it depends on how much weight was carried in the belly and how old you are and the condition of your skin but also the speed of weight loss makes a difference. Fast loss via surgery and for some folks drugs is more likely to cause loose skin but some loose skin is likely after slower loss if the loss is very substantial. [/quote]

Is this your hunch or did you actually read a study that supports this claim? [/quote]

what part of the PP's comment do you think is controversial?[/quote]
