Will my loose skin tighten after weight loss? how long will it take? please help me docs!

Depends: On how elastic your skin is, your age, and how overweight you were and how much you lost. However, NEVER base your weight loss on your skin. If you need to lose a certain amount of weight, see what you look like when done, and decide if you need further interventions such as surgery with your doctor. It's still better to lose the weight then worry about the extra skin.
