A Year and a Month Out Already.
I had a Revision Sleeve to Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y bypass with intraoperative EGD, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, hiatal hernia repair and my gallbladder removed in one day.
I'm doing great a year and a month out from the surgery. I'm down about 90 pounds from surgery. I'm currently at 287.4 pounds. When I had my follow up with the surgeon, he told me when I get down to 250 pounds, he would recommend me a plastic surgeon for the loss fat and skin. I'm looking forward to getting down to 250 pounds so I can be/feel normal in life.
Has anyone/someone gone through this too like I have without any complications from surgery imon post-op leading out up to 13 months out?

Hi Watson - nice to meet U ! Congratulations on all your achievements so far !
I found excess skin surgery to be such a relief and reward for my diet discipline and exercise
. It truly changes your life because you're permanently a changed much more attractive person ( at least to most folks and myself in my case )
I still have to do my upper body skin removal ( I had a belt lipectomy ( lower body lift ) arm lift and thigh lift years ago . Hugs
and welcome to the forum ! Ava
Hi Ava - nice to meet you too! Thank you!
I bet, I was there once about 13 years ago on that.
I believe that.
I wish you luck on your journey. I would like to get at some point in time and arm lift and my thighs worked on. Thank you for the hugs and welcoming me to the forum, Ava!
