Weight loss surgery (BARIX) done in 2/10/2000 (298 lbs) over a year and a half I got down to 140 and stayed there for about 12 years.
Revision done in 7/1/2014 after gaining some weight back weighing 207 when I went in for my revision. I am now 156 lbs and ready to have the excess skin removed.
I am getting my procedure done next Wednesday 11/18/15

Thanks!!
I stalked the internet and found this site. It was a big help to see others going through and feeling the same. I've watched videos and read a lot of posts and reviews.
Good Luck with your decision!

TT with lipo and abdominal tightening update post surgery pictures one week after surgery

The surgery went real well!
I went to my first post op check up on Wednesday the 25th of November and had 2 of my 3 drain tubes removed.
Dr. DiNick cut my original BARIX scar out (up and down from ribs to belly button.. Football shape drawn on my upper tummy) and tightened my abs. Lipo on both of my sides and the whole lower tummy apron removed. Extra long Horizontal incision from hip to hip.

I'm feeling pretty good!
Dr. DiNick went above and beyond! He cut right down the middle removing my original bariatric scar, While he was in the upper torso area, he tightened my abs and did lipo on my love handles. He cut beyond hip to hip across just above my mons area (bikini line) that incision almost wraps around the sides of my hips. He also tightened my pubis area so it wouldn't be fatty and puffy looking. It's more in proportion with a flatter profile.

Wow you have done amazing with the weight loss. You are about to look and feel like a new woman. Did they mention how many pounds of skin they think they are needing to remove? I will be thinking about you this week and waiting to hear back from you.
He told me that he would let me know how much he took off. I know it sounds graphic,, but being an artist,, I'm a "see it~feel it~touch it" person. (hands on person) I would like to see it in a container. But of course that's not possible. Sorry if that's too graphic , Please let me know what is allowed to say or not say on your forum.
I wanted to start a blog page, but I thought this would be a great place to connect with others with similar surgeries. We can all relate with each other.
thank you for accepting me on your forum.
I don't think that is too graphic at all, I am the one always watching the surgery videos. I am a bit of a nut about that..LOL
