After a sleeve does everyone need to have plastic surgery?



Recommended Posts

I'm a little concerned that after having a sleeve and losing weight there would be the need for plastic surgery to tighten skin. Does everyone need that or with exercise and hard work can the skin tighten?!?

I get that loose skin is an unknown outcome and a fear for some people. Some insurance helps cover plastic if your skin causes health issues. For me, the loose skin is not as bad as being obese. A few people..for a very few people..Their skin bounced back. Exercise does not change loose skin.

I don't feel the need for plastics.

I lost 85 total and plastic surgery would be cosmetic and not at all required. There is nothing about my skin that is limiting me. Quite honestly I would go up against any 44 year old woman that had 2 kids.

I think age, genes, how heavy you were and how long you were heavy dictates whether extra skin will limit you. I think pregnancy did much more damage than being obese.

I have lost over 100llbs and having plastics in January. Im 56 and have had huge babies, have been overweight for a long time and although I think its drastic, the reality is after a year of working hard in the gym, swimming and walking my dog a lot... my tummy is dreadful and my breasts..... well, let just say they are a trip hazzard after taking my bra off.

I can't wait.

It's tidy up time :D

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
