After having the open gastric bypass procedure in 2002, I Iost 110 lbs. I kept it off until I started a med for depression in 2012 after trying to cope with two family tragedies. I went back up 85lbs. I have now lost 73 of the 85 and my skin is hanging horrible. It wasn't bad after the first round if weight loss. But now it's unbearable. The rashes are painful and consistant. I found out the hard way I was allergic to Nystatian cream. I can't be on oral antibiotics for ever, so here I am a couple days away from my pannilectomy. My doctor, Dr. Paul Tomlanjvicz seems to be pretty good. I'm just a little more freaked out because he wants to do the vertical incision along with the horizontal. I haven't seen too many of these procedures done, or the results from them. In theory I understand why, it would just be nice to see someone else's results. Let the count down begin.

Hi there... Congrats on your weight loss! I had a LBL with the vertical incision, you can check out my profile pics to see the incision as well as the results it produces. For me, the contour and result far outweighs the additional scar! Best of luck to you...I hope your results are awesome!
What a rough way to find out you're allergic to the cream. Here are some before and after pics of others who have had the procedure. I hope they give you a good idea of what to expect.
It's totally understandable to be nervous before a procedure. I hope this video helps with the pre-surgery jitters.
