  1. Know Something About Plastic Surgery

    This is good, straightforward advice.  As a medical writer, I would also suggest patients be fully informed of the fact that their skin will probably not bounce back into place after massive weight loss.  The degree of loose skin one will have after weight loss depends on many factors--including age, genetics etc.  But it is a good idea to know something about what to expect.

     

    A plastic surgeon I work with specializes in bariatric plastic surgery in Sacramento.  He has invested in developing a Web site about the subject people can use as a resource: www.afterobesity.com.  He invested in the site as a marketing tool, of course, but he truly is interested in the success and well-being of all weight loss patients.  He invites everyone to check out his site and use it to their advantage, no matter what decisions they make.

     

    If post-bariatric surgery patients do decide to seek plastic surgery, they will join growing numbers of people who take that route.  I've met a few of them, and they are slim, happy folks!
