I apologize for the oddness of the pix. if any of them are too much either tell me to take them down or feel free to do them yourself. I am 3 yrs post opp on my gastric bypass. I lost 122 lbs. I had a full tummy tuck and removal of the extra skin on my thighs. I don't know what all to say I guess I'm looking for feedback to see if its ok or if they are healing right. maybe when I feel more comfortable talking about it I will post again. I don't know .

Healing well on my tummy but infection for the 2nd time in my legs. I have gone back 3 times for stitches to be out. Ended up taking them out myself.

Your stomach is soooo much better! Other pictures show it can easily take a year for scar to fade so I think you are right on target. Since you are still young your skin may continue to firm up more but it looks great already. Congrats on your new body!

I think my tummy is doing great except he didn't remove all the skin on it he was supposed to. There's actually a good amount he left. I was very disappointed.

I'm not sure if its normal or not but I have gained weight these past weeks. I am back to 141. What I was a week before the tt. My doctor has to do another surgery because he fid not remove all the extra skin. He plans . To do it after my 12 week appointment. Not too happy about having to do it again. I also had my thighs done at tbe same time and he has to fix that too. They came out completely wrong and more messed up then when I went in. I actually just pulled out another stitch from my belly button that was accidentally left in. My thighs are still not completely healed. I'm worried. My measurements are the same as when I had the surgery and I still don't feel any tightness.

Hold on, swelling can take a toll on the body for a while.

Sounds like he didn't repair the muscles, which is very disappointing. You really look SO much better than before. I'm wondering if this doctor is capable of improving what he has already done-? Letting him "try again"may make it worse! Tightening the muscles seems more difficult to me than removing the skin- if he isn't really competent with the skin part,I'd be really worried about having him do the muscle repair!

I find it odd that there's been no tightness or swelling but now I'm gaining weight. He hasn't given me any answers to what exactly he already did.
