plastic surgery after band

[latinagirl]

hi, I was wondering if anyone has had to have plastic surgery like liposuction or tummy tuck to remove any excess skin. Also do you have to remove the band if you get a tummy tuck. thanks.

I have 100 lbs to lose well actually 37 now since I have lost 63 since banding. I am not even thinking of plastic surgery. The one plus for me is the wieght is coming off 1-3 lbs a week nice and slow and I work out with 5 lb dumbells on my arms to help tone the soft skin . The slower the wieght loss the better.. I feel...but it also depends on your age and how much you want to lose and how fast you lose it and how long you have been obese. My tummy does not hang low so I am fortunate atleast at this point. I do not want any more scars and I hear the pain afterwards is not fun and I have zero tolerance for pain...so for me if I have some loose skin I'm going to make the best of it and live with it!
