I've lost 50# over the course of 2yrs... is there any hope for losing my excess tummy skin?

I'm 44 and have photographic proof. Can't remember which thread it's in, but you can see my before and afters and the skin is almost just as tight despite the fact that literally half the weight is gone. It's by far the cheapest method and the worst it can do is give you soft skin and make you smell good. There's no chance of losing anything.
Yeah, I saw that one and can attest to it. I thought you were in your 20s though. Now I'm really impressed.
Great Job on your weight loss!. I agree with the comments by AnonChick & Yellowsnow (sorry, but I don't know how to quote them except for copying & pasting). My husband went from 350 to 200 pounds (bypass surgery) and had LOTS of excess skin on his tummy. It cost about $4,000 (10 years ago) to have a tummy tuck. It was interesting that when he had cancer five years later and quickly dropped 75 pounds to 125 pounds there wasn't any excess skin at all (although, he did look like a walking skeleton). So it is really depends on the circumstances. BTW he is cancerfree for 5 years and is back to his typical weight of 180 -200 pounds.
Again, Congrats on your great weight loss! Keep it up!
I have had great luck with Vitamin E oil; I just poured a blob of it into my regular body lotion every day. The skin didn't tighten up like I was 25 or anything, but the improvement has been noticeable.
