16.5 Lbs of Skin Removed! - Lower Body Lift with Muscle Repair - Minneapolis, MN

September 29, 2009 I had gastric bypass surgery (rny). My highest weight was 350 and I got down to 171. I lost a lot of muscle and my hair thinned out and both came back along with 30 pounds. I had maintained around the 200 pound mark for over 3 years and figured it was time to look into the excess skin removal.
I went to 6 different consults and Minneapolis Plastic Surgery had the most to offer. I loved that everything was there from consult to all my after-care, the continuity of care has been amazing. All the staff was great at answering questions and very friendly. They have their own surgery rooms and on-staff anesthesiologists and have really taken great care of me.
I can't say enough about their pain management plan, I pretty much had no pain which is amazing considering it was a 6.5 hour surgery, I was cut all the way around and went home the same day with a catheter and 4 drains. I followed their guidelines to a T and all went great, I'm so happy I went with this practice.
