Default Just wondering about saggy skin....

Hey all, I am JUST starting out on this WOL and had a question. First off, my sister has had surgery for her weight and has lost 170 pounds and now has tons of loose, flabby skin. Now, she hasn't ever exercised yet and she doesn't drink water basically. My question is...Is it possible to lose 150#(my goal) and NOT have all that loose flabby skin? She says no way, it's there for life, unless I get surgery to remove it. I thought, hoped, PRAYED that if I regularly exercise & keep myself hydrated, maybe alot of it would shrink back with me???? I don't know. This may sound silly, but just hoping some of you with experience with weight loss found this to be true. Please give me any thoughts or insite you may have.
