Charleen...I LOVE Mules!!! and use to have some standard Donkeys.
I had a Morgan mare that we bred to a jack but she didn't take.
Wanted a saddle Mule so bad but it never happened.
With bariatric sugery you have no option... the first 6 months you lose FAST then it slows down.
No matter if you lose fast or slow your skin might shrink back a little bit if you're younger and depending on your genetics but it typically stays stretched out no matter what you do and no matter how much you exercise.
I have a petite, very trim girlfriend who had 5 pregnancys. To this day her belly skin is *very* saggy and she works out like crazy.
I know I'm going to have lots of hanging skin on my abdomen, upper arms and thighs but we'll see how bad it is.
I may have to have it removed.
