I have heard that given time, if such a person maintains a stable, low weight, the body will naturally reduce much of the excess skin. Is that true?

I lost 60 pounds in 2003. Did it by fasting
had several bad injuries in the years since, gained it all back. inactivity, recovery, eating ben and jerrys
When I had lost the 60, my skin shrunk and I felt I looked fine, no sagging whatever
but then, i was fasting, eating only a chicken breast a day with a glass of milk for lunch, then running 3 miles at night and hiking 2 then walking 2 home
So, I guess it depends on what you are doing when you lose it

I saw a show on TLC or Discovery Health where they had a man who went into a British hospital for a lap band to lose weight. He ended up dying. They don't show that very often.
And YES, these people definitely have enablers. On every show about morbidly obese people they show family members bringing the patient tons of food. These people can't even move, so they RELY on others for their intake. One woman never left her bed, but yelled at her daughters to bring her more food. That is not showing love for your mom, you're killing her. I hate hearing the excuses: "But my son gets HUNGRY! That's why I'm making him a pound of bacon."

The enablers should go to jail. Would love to know how much a day it costs to feed him. Taxpayers paying for his glutony. Disgusting.

I have not seen that to be the case. I have seen people with 12 to 15 year old sugeries, maintain weight and have to fold up their twenty to thirty lbs of abdominal skin into their pants.

Looks like this would be an excellent class-project at Plastic-Surgeon School.
