Skin Removal

Tuesday, December 14, 2004 5:43 PM
Hello. I had gastric bypass surgery in September 2003. I've lost a total of 150 lbs. I've been to a plastic surgeon to inquire about having my excess skin removed. My biggest question, which I'm getting various responses to, is approximately how much does the skin I'm having removed weigh so that I may anticipate what my weight will be post-op? The plastic surgeon who will be doing the surgery said only about 12 lbs. My surgeon who did the gastric bypass said approx. 20 lbs. and my general practitioner thinks its closer to 50 lbs. I will be having my abdominal (lower) skin removed as it sags excessively (it stops at approximately 6 inches into my thighs from where my thighs and hips meet), and I will be having my upper arms done at the same time (there is about a 4-5 inch sag of my arms as well). Any guesstimate you might be able to give will be appreciated. Thank you.
