Hi, Leilasmom. Congratulations! It sounds as if you have lost some weight! The simple answer is that many, but not all patients, can have both procedures at the same time. Your surgeon would have to make that judgment based on your overall health and well being, as well as the magnitude of the procedure. Not all tummies and not all arms are the same, and some require more surgery and longer operative times. Know that in addition to the factors that your surgeon must consider, there are a number of factors that you, as the patient, must consider, as well. Recovering from two procedures is more difficult than one. You likely would have more restrictions and need more assistance. Consider discussing the matter with a Board Certified Surgeon. Best of luck!
