I am in the process of getting cleared for gsstric sleeve. I have severe hanging stomach skin due to already losing 100 pounds on my own. I have 100 more to go. It affects my back, I get rashes and for some reason affects my bladder. Meaning if i dont pick my belly up to urinate, it wont all come out. My question is, can skin be removed at the same time as gastric sleeve? I need some relief.
