SkinIsNotArubberBand: Give it more time and do aerobics three times a week, including interval training and see how you look a year from now. It takes time for the skin to adjust. It took a long time to stretch out and it's not like a rubber band. It will need time to shrink.And it may not look perfect.At that time consider surgery.I'm not sure what you meant by"2 surgeries."You had it before?f so,talk with the surgeon
