Loose skin after gastric sleeve surgery - Am I a tummy tuck candidate? (Photos)

I had gastric sleeve surgery over a year ago and have been at a stable weight for four months.

I would be delighted to answer your question. However without photos and medical records (operative summary), it would be little more than a guess. All the best.
