Connie's weight loss journey (sound muted due to copyright infringements!)

In January 1994, I had gastric bypass. Although I've kept my weight off since then, it's still most definitely one meal at a time.

Hey!

What happens to the excess skin? Does it go away??

[a90210girl]

It depends on your body and some folks

"bounce back" depending on their situation and don't need plastic surgery for the excess skin... some folks, depending on their weight, age and height and obesity history from the beginning. There are plastic surgeons who specialize in plastic surgery for gastric bypass patients in. That's what you want to look for in a plastic surgeon... those who have this type of experience.

Very nice video. I was wondering, if you had to have any skin removed or tucks done after you lost all the weight. I need to lose almost 100 pounds and i am hopeing that my body will tone on its own and i wont have too many saggies.

Hi Wanda- no, haven't had any surgery since but many people do for both medical and non-medical reasons.  I think it just depends on your body, your age, history of obesity, etc. Maybe some day but not soon!
