I had Bariatric Bypass in 2009 & also had an around the world in about 2011. I have a lot of loose skin and need something done for arms, thighs, waistline, etc. I actually have a very large dimple on the outside of my left thigh that needs to go also. What are my chances of my skin shrinking enough without removing it? I can send pix later. I have very poor skin and a lot of cellulite. 3-4 inches of wings hanging down. I work out at gym 2- 3 times a week.

Yes they can, I suggest going to your physician to have a look. It is best that at the beginning you have a smooth compression so there are no permanent issues. Best, Dr. Emer.
You should really ask your surgeon first. It may be okay to drink alcohol if you're not too swollen and you're recovering well. I wouldn't suggest you drink too much, though, because it could compromise your healing.
You are still in the early stage of healing and still have a fair amount of swelling. Continue to wear your compression garments and keep your follow up visits with your doctor. Slowly, you should see the results.
