Because they loose weight too fast.
Loose it slowly, and the skin tightens up as you loose weight.

Ahh the biggest loser, that's fun, we've run three of those at our club and they're big hits!
When you've worked out exercising and losing weight you will also be gaining muscle which fills in the skin to some degree and gives you nice muscle tone. When the gastric bypass is done and no exercising is performed then no muscle mass is involved.

When someone loses lots of weight, either by diet or exercise, then yes, they do have that saggy skin condition.
I have two friends who are my heros. One has lost 120 pounds, the other 80. Both were very large ladies when they started, and both are doing it 1-2 pounds a week, having changed their lives (got rid of bad husbands). However, the skin lacks the ability to snap back into shape. And, yes, they are both saving for the surgeries to remove the excess skin.

Don't know the scientific reason behind this, but logically thinking I believe exercising helps to improve the skin elasticity. With exercising, the total weight loss is a combination of fat, water, muscles etc and over time, it is gradual enough for the skin to adapt itself to hold in the new body.

Of course! The natural way always works. Dont you think losing weight through your sweat and strength sounds more promising than some sharpened knives and a stranger removing your skin. Hope that actually answers your question.

Most gastric bypass patients are morbidly obese thus they will have more skin due to their weight.
