Recommended Posts

I was just wondering after bypass how many of you dont have lose skin? Is it possiable to not need any plastics? I am just now at the start of my journey, going to pre surgical class tom. I know everyones different. I have a big butt, large thighs and big arms, I will not be able to get plastics I have 3 kids so they are my budgeting priority lol. Im excited to be on the way to a healthier me reguardless if I end up with extra skin.

Your going to miss that butt lol I have to squat heavy to get mine to bubble out. I had plastics years prior to surgery which, well years prior I didn't know i was going to get RNY so obviously i would have held off. I also had a little suprise pregnancy so I would def get a Tummy Tuck now but mine is not bad at all I just want a crazy flat stomach. When I bend over there's a little ripple but nothing hangs down. My arms are not as tight as i like but I think weightlifting will fix those up. Just stay hydrated, lotion up and lift, some people's excess skin really isn't bad.

I don't really need it. I lost 110 pounds from 250 to 138.

I have a pooch on my belly but I've also had kids and I don't really care. My arms and legs look fine, barely any loose skin and I think it will get even better in time.

Ummmm I don't. I haven't been allowed to yet, my calories aren't high enough. Occasionally I swim but that's about it.

My skin is just good and I wasn't that big at my highest. I'm 5'5 and was 250ish.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
