I'm 16 and I weigh 260 and Im about 5'6, and I'm trying to loose at least 15 pounds by when school starts which is towards the end of August, and Im going to start to do Tae=Bo everyday and power walk 2 miles every morning, and only eat oatmeal for breakfast and only snack on veggies and fruit and eat more green food, So when I start loosing weight, will I have to have surgery for loose skin??

if you start losing weight really fast you will need surgery.since you're young, your skin will be put back to place on its own if you lose weight SLOWLY.If you lose it too fast, your skin will stay stretchy and it won't have enough time to tighten up.the weight you should be losing is 2 pounds a week. if you lose more than that, your skin will become really saggy.

Not for just 15 pounds. If you lost 100 or so, then the chances of having a lot of loose skin are greater.
