How much does it cost to have the skin removed? I am assuming it is your apron . I am 3 weeks out from my 2nd RNY 16 yrs ago 425lbs now down to 225lbs. I had a fistula so the new surgery is harder tha

Wow congrats! Sounds like you did excellent. Is insurance paying for your surgery to have the skin removed or are you paying for it?

Congrats and u would think insurance would help u with the chest issue. I am only a week out but asked insurance before even having surgery about getting extra skin removed aka apron the lady told me
Greetings all... new here and wanted to say Hi. Been 12 years since my gastric bypass and doing great. Pre surgery I was 377 lbs and am currently at 220 lbs in size 34 waist. I am finally having my skin removed off my abdomen on June 25th and am really excited as it should put me closer to my goal of 200lbs. The confidence having the surgery and the weight loss gave me the confidence to move on to RN from paramedic 6 years ago along with being promoted to Admitted RN Manager and advisor to our new bariatric department. Feel free to ask me anything about the surgery, side effects, regrets (none) :-) , or life since the surgery. Take care all and hang in there!
