Folks looking for feedback on PS for men

I'm also doing some long term planning and thought I would post up and ask for your thoughts. At my 3 yr surgiversary now. At the surgery goal, but will be trying to lose 20-30 more. I need to get an idea of how much this will cost and what I should do. Thinking laet 2014 or early 2015 for surgery depending. I have my first consult in January 2014.

My priority areas probably will be like everyone else but of course I am a man. I've actually had PS before for a breast reduction after losing a lot of weigh pre surgery 15 years ago.short story is from the time I was a boy always had breasts. Well man breasts anyways. Teased my whole life into adulthood. Got in many fist fights over that and a hell of a cat fight with a girl who tore me up. Must have been something I said about her mother. Not my fault, lol, don't pick on the fat guy.

Anyway after RNY I have the standards issues

Huge stomach skin, I think I can actually surround a small person
Even though male, the mons area is daunting
Drooping breasts, would consider pec implant
Flanks
inners thighs
Bat wings

I listed them sort of in order of importance to me. I work out a lot now and if I go natural I sweat and start sounding like a one man band.

Aside from the shock of seeing myself without clothes, my primary reasons start with hygiene but what will be really gratifying is being able to wear clothes better. I contain my huge belly with a insta slim, but have trouble keeping my pants on or looking like an inner tube.

Any advice on how to approach this would be helpful. Wondering if I should do it in one shot or how best to break this up. I know the doc will tell me his thoughts, but I'd like to be better aware before I see him.

Thanks in advance

Chrispy,

I hear you about the man boobs.  You might want to check out the segment on "The Doctor's" show today with Jon Calvo who lost 175 lbs and had questions about excess skin.

Thanks!

No real answers.  I've been on this forum for about 7 years.  I saw what you wrote on the PS Forum.  I was a lightweight (300 pounds) at my highest.  I had the inner thigh issue.  But my biggest issue now is the neck...Turkey neck.  I just live with it.  Like others have said, document all issues with your doctor...See if you can get it covered with insurance.  Also consider Mexico for surgery.  Over the years I have heard both good and bad about PS in Mexico.  Mostly good, but some horror stories.  Wondering about maybe the Caribbean for surgery if you are self pay.  Over the years it seems like what ever is worst gets worked on first.  I would think the stomach (panni) is the one that people get first.  They can hide the batwings, inner thigh, and moobs.  Many people just deal with it what they have been dealt.  Just my thought.  Brian

Yeah I hear ya. When I went with surgery I separated PS figured I'd deal with things after. So after has arrived lol I'm not planning to take my clothes off for anyone so some things I can live with, a few I can't. Like having skin block certain bodily parts etc..
