Will my Loose Skin Slowly Tighten Naturaly
Congratulations on the weight loss. TIme will tell regarding how much tightening will occur.

Skin Bounce Back after Significant Weight Loss?

Best wishes.

Hello
Congratulations on loosing that weight for yourself and your health. There is a high possibility your skin will not tighten up. You might need some surgery to help with that. Good luck.
