Make sure to use lots of lotion as you go. There are lotions labeled as Skin Firming that help most.I use one called Palmer's Skin Firming Lotion.Know though that it is possible that you may eventually need some surgery depending on your age, etc. A tummy tuck is one such possible surgery. Google it for more information.

If you lose too much, too fast, you will have extra skin. But the younger you are the better your chances since your skin is more elastic so can spring back.Without any photo or what exactly you are doing, no one can tell how much skin if ever you will have. But to minimize the skin problem, don't lose too much weight too fast because chances are (honestly) you will gain fat back much faster and with extra skin it will go there.Hope this helps. ^_^
