How to Get Rid of Sagging Skin After Gastric Bypass and Weight Loss?

May 13, 2009
Asked By:Panama Girl in Connecticut

I had gastric bypass and my skin sags now. Where it folds (abdomen, thighs, arms), I get infections and painful rashses, and I'm looking for ways to stop this.  What type of treatment or surgery is available to get rid of all the extra skin?  Could the sagging skin be fixed all at once or would it require me to have lots of things done over a long time?
