Yes! I feel terrible that you did this whole thing backwards, but if your surgeon knew you were planning on having a bariatric procedure you should have been told to wait with the skin resection till after you lost the weight. You will likely have to undergo another body contouring procedure after you loose the weight but you need to wait at least 18 months after the sleeve is done. This will ensure you have lost all the weight and that you are able to maintain a stable weight.
