I'm 5 years post op from my RNY. I'm ready for my tummy tuck. I have probably 15lbs of excess skin. I'm having a hard time finding/deciding on a plastic surgeon in Ohio. I have read good and bad things about all doctors. I'd like to hear some feedback from anybody with any knowledge. Thanks!

Unless you still have a significant amount of fat under that skin, the skin alone isn't going to weigh 15 pounds.  Skin and tissue alone weighs very little.  (My pannus hung all the way down onto my thighs but was only 6 pounds and the skin above my waist was just over a pound.)

Where in Ohio are you at?  There's no point in someone spending time typing up a reply giving you suggestions/reviews for surgeons that are all the way across the state....

You might want to post on the PS forum, too.

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way.  Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
