Hi everyone

So excited today I'm going to see a reconstructive surgeon in Melbourne for my Excess skin removal initial consult. I had sleeve surgery in March 2016. I weighed 140.2 and I now weigh 87.2 heaviest weight was around the 160 mark. I have a lot of excess skin so really looking forward to this day!

Saw the surgeon, have decided to go with a breast lift, body lift & fix my arms. He said I'll be either a B or C cup which I'm happy with I don't want big breasts & I wanted to avoid implants if I could. I will need to go back to get legs done another time.

Congratulations for reaching this point! Who is your surgeon may I ask? I kinda wondered if the Aussie surgeons have equal experience to the USA ones? Most don't seem to have many pictures on their websites....

Also if it's ok to ask...any idea on cost?

I know this will be on the cards for me in 12mth.

Thankyou! Are you Aussie? Who did your sleeve? I had Adam Skidmore he was fantastic and has worked overseas & spoken at conferences overseas too!
I'm seeing Dean Trotter. Check him out on his website. He seems very good! I haven't got costs yet, waiting for the quote and therefore the heart attack

Did you have the skin removal surgery yet? How did it go? I believe I will be getting mine in December.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
