Question:
WONDERING PERCENTAGE OF POST-OP OPEN RNY'S that have had to have abdominplasty,
breast lifts, etc. I'm 5'7" and 265 pre-op for Open RNY 12-05-02. Just wondering about the possibility of this in the future. I've had a C-section and abdominal hysterectomy so I know I'llhave some problems with muscle tone. — Debra L. H. (posted on November 26, 2002)

Hi Debra,
I am a little over one year out. I have lost 130+ lbs. I started at 267,
went up to 271(my wt the day I came home from the hosp) I am also 5'6 and
about 3/4. And I will have to have a TT or the full works most likely the
full works. I have so much excess skin that is it awful. My body looks
like ****. I look good in clothes but awful out of them lol. I can
suggest that you exercise and then again exercise. I was into this stage
thinking I am young, and considered a "ligh weight" my skin will
bounce back so I did not do a regular exercise routine. I would change
that now if I could but I can't. You can learn from my mistakes :) Well I
wish you health and happiness. Life is much, much greener on this
side!!!!!!! OPEN RNY 10/4/01-130+lbs
