LOOSE SKIN - AGAIN!!

I had a tummy tuck 3 years ago and then a revision 9 months after that because of elastricity around my middle.  Well guess what, it came back  and at my 6 month check up the surgeon told me that nothing more could be done, for the most part I feel great and after 5 years being post RNY I still follow my program and the rules, it's just this stupid part of me that I am letting getting me down.  I know I went to a good surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic and I don't think it's his fault at all, he told me after the 1st surgery that some people are prone to extra elasticity in their skin. It's not terrible or anything like it was before surgery but I just feel uncomfy with it sometimes and then I have my "fat" moments.

Has anyone gone through this and if so, please advise what I should do.

Thanks!!

Did your doc do the muscles too?  If he didn't tighten the muscles I've heard you don't get the best results

Honey, NOBODY'S body is perfect.  Forgive yourself for being human, and don't look too closely at the personal details.  I promise you that no one else notices your flaws, if any.

If you're not careful, you can get into being a "plastic surgery addict".  

Good luck.
