So I don't have my surgery date yet, I'm still going through the rigors of getting to that point. But I am worried about needing tucks/lifts/plastic surgery post-op. I'm 270 and 21 years old. I absolutely believe that going through the bariatric process is worth any skin sagging, etc., but I want to know if there's a possibility that I won't need post-op surgeries. Obviously I won't know for sure until after the RNY, but are there any others out there that were okay without corrective surgeries after the weight loss? Thanks all

I've lost 78 and don't need anything lifted and I'm 58 years old.

Hon, I'm 3 and 1/2 years out from my RNY. I was 57 when I had my WLS. I think it depends mostly on age, and how you carry your weight. I carried my weight in my stomach. I lost 135#'s before due to illness. I didn't have the skin issues at all. But...I was under 50 years old. Then after losing 132#'s this time MAN O MIGHTY do I have the skin issues. I had a PANNILOCTOMY ( not sure f the spelling I just call it PANNI) the removal of skin from what they call the APRON AREA. Lower stomach. My PS removed 10 plus pounds. I still would love to have a breast lift and some Lipo done. You have a good thing going for you, you are very young. Like I said above I have lost and gained weight my whole adult life but no problems with skin issue until now.
