I would consider plastic surgery, if my skin doesn't tighten up 1 year after reaching my goal weight. Is there something that works to remove the scars from surgery?

Is this "normal"? I'm 5 weeks post op and I feel like I'm able to eat a lot. I can't eat as much as I used to, but I'm able to eat more than I thought I'd be able to. I'm just a little worried...
Surgery date 5/11/11 - 245 lbs
Today's date 6/9/11 - 225 lbs
Tomorrow is my big day, too. I'm excited and scared. Good luck to you.
I picked up my injections today. I couldn't believe that these cost my insurance $1100! That's like $160 per needle!
The clinic says that they give everyone who has the surgery the prescription, unless they have a medical problem that would preclude them from having the blood thinner.
Miss Deidre, your wife sounds like me! Although, I've never chased any phlebotomists out of my room. LOL! I cry almost everytime I have to give blood. The last nurse who took my blood told me...
3 more days and a wake-up to go.
I was informed that I will receive a prescription to prevent blod clots. I have to INJECT MYSELF for a whole week!!! OMG! I'm so scared of needles and I can't imagine sticking MYSELF!!! I'm not...
My instructions were the same as Dana's. I have 3 more days to go. I'm a ball of nerves right now.
With my first psych eval, I talked to the doctor and got registered. With my second psych eval, I answered some questions on a "test", which was later scored/evaluated, then I talked to the doctor...
I don't have a 9 to 5, but I do work around the house and volunteer. I was wondering how long my hubby and kids will have to fend for themselves. I hope I can still cook and clean.
Can you take these pills after having your sleeve? And if you have to wait to take pills, how long must you wait?
I had the opposite experience yesterday. I got all gussied up for an event and felt really good looking... until I got there and looked at myself in their full length mirror under all the bright...
My surgery date is scheduled for May 11th! I'm so excited that I feel like I'm ready to burst. It's like I don't want to do anything but count down the hours until my surgery date. I haven't lost...
If I have excess skin, I'll just get it removed. I'm just worried about the arms. I don't want a scar down my arms.
I have to start my pre-op diet 2 weeks prior to my surgery date.
I met with my doctor to discuss my results. The erosion was just superficial. YAY! Turns out that I have a slight case of H. Pylori, so I have to take antibiotics for two weeks. No biggie. And...
I received my surgery date this morning. I will be sleeved on May 11th, as well! YAY! I'm so excited!
I just received my date as well! May 11th. I'm so excited.
LOL. It wasn't the official results, I get those in two weeks. They were pics printed out for me. Lately, I've been worrying soooo much over the smallest things, as you can probably tell by my...
It sure is hard to apologize and admit when you're wrong - even on an anonymous profile. Sorry guys! I shouldn't have been so rude in my responses. I'll exercise better judgment in the future. ...
Also, thank you to everyone who sent me private messages. They were all helpful. My motivation for asking was because I'm not brave enough to be an open-book, and I think that's OK. As, you...
I just kinda had a "duh" moment. That's short, and simple and not a lie.
I'm sorry, I missed your answer to my question. What do you mean, if I have my decision why am I asking? I don't know what you mean by that.
