LOOSE SKIN - AGAIN!!

I had a tummy tuck 3 years ago and then a revision 9 months after that because of elastricity around my middle.  Well guess what, it came back  and at my 6 month check up the surgeon told me that nothing more could be done, for the most part I feel great and after 5 years being post RNY I still follow my program and the rules, it's just this stupid part of me that I am letting getting me down.  I know I went to a good surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic and I don't think it's his fault at all, he told me after the 1st surgery that some people are prone to extra elasticity in their skin. It's not terrible or anything like it was before surgery but I just feel uncomfy with it sometimes and then I have my "fat" moments.

Has anyone gone through this and if so, please advise what I should do.

Thanks!!

Before and after pics of the tummy tuck would help advise.

I just had a tummy tuck and the surgeon warned me that can happen to gastric patients. He said I would need a revision in 2 years. You could get a 2nd opinion but I think they can only do so many revisions.

That's interesting to hear, thanks for letting me know. Are you already worried about knowing you may have to go through this again and did you get a full TT with muscle tightening?
