Hello, I am approaching the end of my journey, well at least the dropping weight portion of of the journey, so I have been starting to think about the possibility of wanting skin removal surgery in the future.
Details about me, I am a 5'7 male, age 27 and back in 2016 I peaked weight wise at about 400lbs, as of today I am at 170lbs, however with that I have noticed the loose skin is starting to hit me pretty hard. My goal is to lose about 25lbs more.
Right now my thought process is to spend the next 6 months getting to my desired weight and then spend another year working out focusing on resistance training as to help with the skin as much as possible. I was hoping to ask a list of questions though.
- How early should you start getting serious about skin removal surgery, as in contacted doctors and getting consultations.
- Should I meet with some kind of weight loss expert first or do I just go ahead and reach out to a practice that specializes in body contouring.
- Is a year long enough to know about how much loose skin I am going to end up with and how much it will bounce back.
- Is it an ok idea to get it done piece wise, say arm then thigh etc, or is it just better to get it all done with at once?
- How did people handle that with work, is this something you can use a medical leave for or because its elective are you just kinda on your own?
