Waiting for my Surgery Date

[Klosty71 0]

I have been through all of my pre op appointments and I am just waiting for my surgery date. The point of this post is to ask a series of different questions. I was hoping that those of you who have been through this can answer them

First of all I am a 385 pound male and i am about 6'2". I was wondering how visible the fill port is. I hope that after I lose some weight I will be comfortable not wearing a shirt again and I don"t want to look funny.

Second what is the likely hood that I will need reconstructive surgery for excess skin, this may be a good question for the guys?

I feel pretty comfortable with everything else but these are just some questions that I can't get a good answer on.

Thank you to anyone who can help.

Hello, the consultant at the clinic that I went to is about 5'4" and started at 346, she is now 140. She let me touch the port on her abdomen to see how it felt. If she hadn't shown me where it was I wouldn't have known except for the scar that is there from the incision. I believe she had a Tummy Tuck but i didn't ask. When I was much thinner 20 years ago and had a baby I was left with sagging skin that will always be there unless I have it fixed. My highest weight at 5"3" was about 190. Hope this helps.
