 Post-bariatric & Massive Weight Loss Patients
Exercise and eating right are the best ways to lose weight. But many
people have tried those methods for years and still can't lose excess
weight — weight that can cause serious health problems. For people
in this frustrating situation, weight loss surgery (bariatric surgery)
may be an option.
Weight-loss (bariatric) surgery changes the anatomy of your digestive
system to limit the amount of food you can eat and digest. The surgery
aids in weight loss and lowers your risk of medical problems associated
with obesity.
Gastric bypass (bariatric surgery) isn't for everyone with obesity. It's
a major procedure that poses significant risks and side effects and requires
permanent changes in your lifestyle. Before deciding to go forward with
the surgery, it's important to understand what's involved and what lifestyle
changes you must make. In large part, the success of the surgery is up
to you.
Following the significant amount of weight loss after a Gastric Bypass Surgery, a person can be left with a tremendous amount of excess, hanging skin throughout many areas of the body. The lack of elasticity of the remaining skin often causes excessive amounts of skin to accumulate and hang in various areas, including the face, neck, breasts, upper and lower abdomen, arm and/or armpit (axilla), back, buttocks, thighs, legs, and calves. This excess skin also can cause skin irritation, skin breakdown and infection.
Dr. Pousti performs all cosmetic procedures required to achieve the patient's
desired goal after massive weight loss. Such procedures include facelift,
abdominoplasty (tummy
tuck), breast augmentation,
breast lifting, arm
lifting (brachioplasty), thigh
lifting, breast
reduction and more.

Morbid obesity is a chronic disease, meaning that its symptoms build slowly
over an extended period of time. An estimated 5-10 million Americans are
considered morbidly obese. Obesity becomes "morbid" when it
reaches the point of significantly increasing the risk of one or more
obesity-related health conditions or serious diseases (also known as co-morbidities)
that can result either in significant physical disability or even death.
Weight loss surgery is major surgery. Its growing use to treat morbid
obesity is the result of three factors: Our current knowledge of the significant
health risks of morbid obesity; the relatively low risk and complications
of the procedures versus not having surgery; and the ineffectiveness of
current non-surgical approaches to produce sustained weight loss.
