I had my RNY April 9 2012. I have went from 374 to 289 so far. Anyways, has anyone here had plastic surgery to remove excess skin? I was wondering, when would be a good time to go through with it? My goal is still far off at around 150 to 170 lbs. Im really excited to get to my goal and lose the extra skin. I will feel so much better! Anyone had this? Any advice?

GOD BLESS YOU

Surgeons usually recommend waiting until you've reached your lowest weight and your weight has been stable for several months. So you've got a ways to go.

Doesn't mean you can't start the planning process; researching costs/options, getting physician referrals, what procedures you want done etc. Do your research thouroughly, talk to professionals and use this forum as a general advice vehicle. Good luck!!!
