My Dr said give it 2 years. Now each Dr is different but most say the skin will still form and tighten up to 2 years post-op. The least amount I've heard is 18 mo.

I met with the PS in May. I had my VSG on Oct 30, 2012. I have my arms scheduled for November 2013, and the "girls" will be done early next year. My PS said the last 20 lbs I need to lose won't be coming from either of those areas. I didn't even talk about it with my VSG surgeon. I went straight to an expert in skin removal. :)

LOL well I got info on the Plastic Surgery that I was looking for, but she never got her Sex question answered. I was told when you feel up to it. I am mentally ready now at 5 days but we have agreed to wait a week or two depending. The Doctor said when you feel up to it.

Thanks everyone. I thought "post plastic surgery" would be a giveaway that i had plastic surgery already.

Okay, I DID ask this question at my consults. I was told to wait 6-8 weeks and here is the reason... assuming you ENJOY "the deed" your heartrate will go up. They don't want anything that might cause small bleeds or whatever... so for the first 6 weeks post op no vigorous exercise of ANY kind. i was glad they were clear on this because I was thinking... there might be "things" that were okay to do sooner and there really aren't.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
