Wishful Butterfly

Hello All, I hope someone can help me with my inquiry. I live in CA and I had two plastic surgeries: Circumferential body lift in August 2013 and Brachioplasty in December 2013 Unfortunately, I'm having issues with both surgeries. I started to have saggy skin around my tummy! and I have a problem with my brachioplasty surgery in which I have some strange skin folds under my arms! I still have two surgeries (thigh lift and breast lift) to do and I don't want to continue with the same doctor until I have a second opinion from other doctors here in CA (LA or around) Can someone kindly recommend for me any well known surgeons in CA who is specialized in post-weightloss plastic surgeries ? that I can consult with or even do the revision and other surgeries with? Appreciating your help pls. I really feel lost, sad and very depressed. especially that I'm new here and don't know whom to ask. Thanks,

Hi, This is my first time to join a sleeve forum and I think I should have done this long time ago. I had my sleeve surgery since 2 years. I was 308 pounds and now I'm 183 pounds. I didn't reach my goal yet and I struggled a lot in loosing my weight. I feel very upset, depressed because all who had sleeve (the ones I know and read about) reached their goal from the first year! and I didn't even reached it! I need at least another 40 pounds to lose. I've been struggling in loosing the weight for almost a year! loosing and gaining back .. loosing and gaining back. I'm sick of this loop. I know its my mistake! because I went back to my old habits and whenever I want to eat, I tend to eat the easy sliding foods! such as chips, chocolates...etc I can't stop and I'm tired of starting and failing. I'm tired and sick of feeling different all the time from others. Many issues came up after the sleeve surgery.. in addition to not able to loose the weight, I’m suffering from excess skin all over and this is because I was obese since childhood. Pls, any advice would help Thanks

Dear All, I really can't thank you enough for your generous replies and care. Your support made me feel that I'm not alone and got me motivated. I think as most of you said, I'm pushing my self too hard. Also, I need to start and change the way I think about my self and my life. As for the excess skin, yes I have huge amount to be removed. As per the plastic surgeon, I need a full body countouring surgery. I want to do the surgeries but I don't know with which doctor and still didn't know how I would pay for it. THANK You SOOOOO Much for your replies and support.
