My breast lift/ augmentation was more than my VSG also done in the US. I want a tummyy tuck, but I dont know about coming up with that kind of money again for my body.
Re: Surgery to remove loose skin
I had a Circumferential Body Lift, gynaecomastia and liposuction on 21 December ( I have a blog running on this).
2kg skin and 60 centilitres of fat sucked out my man boobs
Basically do what ever makes you happy but DO NOT under estimate the pain post surgery and the fact it’s a major operation.
Two days ago I bent over and split open the wound on my back, I have to go back into hospital tomorrow to be stitched up...just have to take things very easy, I reckon I’ve set myself back by two weeks.
Choose your surgeon wisely, make sure aftercare is on hand and have lots of time off work - oh and someone to look after you

So sorry to hear you ripped your wound. Hope you get fixed up well. Hang in there. Looking forward to see your before and after pics.
Re: Surgery to remove loose skin
Thank you. I know it is a big decision and I haven't been able to decide one way or the other. I guess the timing isn't right for now

Good call, do it only when you feel good and ready.
Interestingly it was around 14-15 months post VSG that I went to see a plastic surgeon. Prior to seeing him I didn’t feel big around the middle with the excess skin or man boobs but once I had met the plastic surgeon and discussed what could be done it brought it all to my conscious thought.
I began to feel fat and big around the and middle.
My point being in seeing a surgeon even to just discuss options it may change your perception of yourself and how you feel about yourself.

Plastic Surgery works. My wife has done it after she gave birth to a child. The similar situation as above.
Re: Surgery to remove loose skin
My sister had a tummy tuck, after she gave birth to her 3rd kid. But something probably went wrong, because she started to feel uncomfortable after that
Re: Surgery to remove loose skin
One of my friends lost weight too quickly and she needs skin removal surgery after losing weight. I hope everything will be fine, she's a little bit afraid of surgery and she worries about it.
Re: Surgery to remove loose skin
I totally didn't want to do it

Re: Surgery to remove loose skin
Have you considered consulting with a plastic surgeon to discuss the options and potential impact on your self-perception before deciding on loose skin removal surgery?
