In August 2012, after living most of my life as the "fat kid" and with my weight being a hindering factor at my job, I had gastric bypass surgery (Dr. Christopher Hart at Atlanta Bariatrics). At my heaviest, I weighed more than 360lbs. (I do not know how much more... I was afraid to look at the scale).
At my 2 year checkup with Dr. Hart, he recommended Dr. Patricia Yugueros at Luna Plastic Surgery to me for when I decided to have the cosmetic procedures for skin removal, etc.
I set an appointment in late October 2014 with Dr. Yugueros where she was able to explain all of the procedures that she thought I would need based on my surgical history, body type, etc.
After consulting with my employer, I was able to schedule my surgery in late November 2014.
Dr. Yugueros removed 11-12lbs of loose/excess skin and tissue as she performed panniculectomy, excision of tissue from gynecomastia and performing liposuction and tightening my abdomen and flanks.
From 360lbs+ 28 months ago, I weigh just over 190lbs and less than I did in 9th grade (that was in the early 1980s!).
More importantly, I also look "proportional" and feeling even better about myself!
As I am only about 6 weeks out of the surgery, I still have some pain but it is going away and I look forward to being even more active soon!
I will post a better photo when I get one.
