jennypenny1998 41 Posted August 16, 2018 I've got some extra skin on my stomach and my arms. It's not very noticeable to others, but I can see it. What are you skin removal experiences? How long did it take to recover? Were you able to return to work soon after? Scarring? I'm considering having it done but not sure if it is worth it since I don't have a lot.

sleevegirl88 54 Posted August 16, 2018 Im interested in the answers to this as well. I've been worried about excess skin..(which is not a factor for me not to have surgery) but im curious to know about the removal surgery as well so i can kind of plan if i end up with a bunch of excess skin 1 jennypenny1998 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neversaynever 268 Posted August 18, 2018 I am also interested. I saw a video on youtube of a lady that had had her arms done and the skin looked very puckered, kind of put me off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrankyMagpie 509 Posted August 19, 2018 Other pre-op people: do yourself a favor, and do not go read the forum I'm going to link. Just... look, we all have time before we have to think about that part, and it's not worth stressing ourselves out. Post-op people who want to start investigating plastic surgery: there is a whole forum on this site about this topic! https://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/393-plastic-reconstructive-surgery/ (To be clear: I'm not saying "get out of here with this discussion." I'm just making sure you're aware that there is a LOT of discussion happening already, in case it'll help you out! Carry on. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
