Asked By:melissahathaway in Attleboro, MA

I had a gastric bypass in 2012. I weighed 320 pounds before I went in, and I went down to 150 pounds after the surgery. Over the past several years I've gained back about 80 pounds. I have a huge ball of flash for my stomach and my breasts are very large and it makes it harder for me to exercise is it possible to have a reduction as well as a pantelectomy so that the battle doesn't seem so hard. Is it safe what does a person have to lose a certain amount of weight first?
