Default Under the chin??

I've been looking at a lot of the pictures (Before & After) on the site. Everyone looks so GREAT -- and I'm noticing that most folks seem to have had the old neck skin pull up pretty good? Is that true? I'm kinda concerned about that because I've got so much fat under my chin. I'm getting concerned I'll look like I have a turkey flap for a neck!

For those who've lost -- what's the chin looking / feeling like?

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

LOL -- Very funny Kenya! Most of the "other places" we can hide strategically under the right clothes! Ah well, I guess I'll just see what the good Lord gives me and be glad that whatever it is -- I'll be ten pounds lighter in under my chin!

For me I am losing the weight under my chin 1st and so far it seems to be firming up nicely. I've lost 12 pounds and its all under my chin.
