WORTH IT
Dr. Delatte and his staff were amazing! He wants the best outcome for his patients and will not do things half way. He is clear from the beginning and very informative in what can be done and how it should be done. I lost over 200lbs and he removed 10lb of skin from my abdomen and now I feel like a new person. Might I add my incisions healed amazingly well and looks very nice.... he says I have great skin but I say he is just that good! You will not regret your choice here! Make the appointment and meet with him and put his years of experience and skills to work for you!!

The journey

I had gastric sleeve 4 years ago.... highest weight about 380. Lost 200 lbs and maintained loss for 4 years. After lots of exercise I was left with lots of extra skin! I searched doctors ... went to a couple of consults but was never settled until my visit with Dr. Delatte. The same day I met with him ... we scheduled the surgery almost 1 month later! Everything went wonderful! Recovery was just as he said.... his office staff was amazing.... if I had a question I called and they were ALWAYS available! It’s been 2 months and I am on full release doing my part again! Continuing to exercise and work on the rest of my body! I am planning to do my arms this summer because honesty it’s just skin there but I still have more work to do on my legs before he can do something. I can only sing Praises of Dr Delatte! He is genuinely concerned for his patients! He Is knowledgeable in his field and you can trust his expertise and skill will work for you!!

So happy for you! It takes a lot of dedication to stay the course especially when life gets hectic. You look great! Everyone has their own personal reasons for having this surgery done. My reason was because I was working my rear off at the gym started off for health reasons but I wasnt looking any " healthier" on the outside. This surgery is life changing. I don't look perfect but look soooo much better. There is about a month difference between our surgery dates. I feel about 98% back to normal. I have to use my before pics to remind myself of the gift I have been given and I'll be damned if I'm going back! Keep posting. We all learn so much from each other.

Wow...,and I totally agree! Never going back to that old way of living.... if you can call it that! Thanks for sharing and commenting! Did you see Dr Delatte? He truly is a miracle worker! Question though.... for me the scale is the devil! Lol it doesn't seem to change, how about on your end?

My Dr was Phillip Chang in VA. I have not had any luck with having the scale go any lower than 5 pounds since surgery. I am eating right and hitting the gym but I fluctuate with 5 pounds either up or down. It's discouraging. I have even been measuring on a regular basis to check progress. But then again I am fluctuating by 2 inches! It must be all have to do with water retention. I do think the surgery has effected my hormones. I know abdominal fat is hormonally driven. I am a bit older too so iv got that messing with my hormones as well. So I'm kinda thinking I may not be losing weight dispite doing everything right. The good thing is I holding steady and I would be happy to maintain.

Wow! You look fantastic. Can you post current pictures? I have my consult with Dr. D. next month for a mommy makeover after losing 70 lbs.
