WORTH IT$21,000
I am 4 ½ years out from my Gastric Bypass (RNY), currently I am prepping for my cosmetic Plastic Surgery!!! I have a 100lb weight loss.
I analyzed my the problem areas that bothered me the most on my body.
1. Belly/muffin top/lap apron. Whatever you call it, if I purchase pants to fit the waist-ish, butt and thighs. Then I look good however I have this muffin top that sticks out over the top of my pants and am back to wearing larger loose shirts to conceal. If I wear pants to not have the muffin top then they are falling off too big.
2. Back fat everything that hangs over the top and under the armpits around the bra area.
3. Breasts! The hang too low, I get tired of gluing (roll on medical adhesive) found out I’m allergic to Hollywood Tape to keep them in lace in my bra, mostly I just use rolled up socks to keep them in place (think back to a 12 year old girl)
4. Arms or as I call them my Bat wings. They are like a shiny object to me, when I get in the front row staring at the mirror at Zumba Class I get distracted! Watching them flap.
5. Thighs, these really don’t bother me too much as I never plan to wear micro shorts, bikini bottoms or anything that hits more than 2” above my knees.

Thank you to everyone's comments and review, I hope my journey helps somebody else in researching for their surgeries and finding a Doctor.
Yesterday was my 7 week check up and I am pleased to say, my incisions are looking much better than my last appt. I am down to using just 1 4x4 gauze on each arm, under each breast and one in the center of my back. it is much easier to wash up I still cannot take a shower until they have all closed and the scabs are gone.
I still wear my compression sleeves and have some oozing, but Dr. Pousti seems to think I am doing fine. next appointment is in 2 months
