I had a tummy tuck (fleur de lise) and breast lift after losing 160 lbs. I know alot of people who has lost alot of weight and then had surgery. Check the gastric bypass group- there is alot of people there. Also on facebook we have a group of bypass/sleevers etc that have and haven't had surgery. Feel free to message me if you have questions.
My plastics were the longest healing process i have ever had. I work an office job and was off for 2 weeks and worked from home for the next 2. Painful and slow process to heal. BUT WORTH IT.
Take care and best of luck

I had breast augmentation and a fleur de lise after losing 100 lbs its been a little over 2 months now and the cut down the center of my stomach is not healing properly. My surgeon wants to re-cut so that the wound will heal properly. My daughter says i should get a second opinion ... any suggestions.

It's so odd, but I had surgery October 2015 and I'm still being treated for the mistakes my doctor made. Make sure the surgeon is reputable,.
