Too prepared!!!! It is good to know and maybe it would give you more incentive to get out and get busy with toning and trimming your body knowing that the possibility of plastic surgery after gastric bypass exists. Thankfully everyone was very upfront with me as to what to expect during the first months/years after surgery. That way when the scale didn't move for a while, I knew that it was NORMAL to have that happen or when I started grieving and mourning food that was NORMAL as well. You can never be too prepared or know too much in advance, at least that is my philosophy. Because everyone was so open and honest to me as to what to expect I wanted to do the same for everyone else. You will only get the best results from plastic surgery (through all the research I have done and by talking to Plastic Surgeons) if you have excellent muscle tone underneath your skin. If you don't have the muscle tone, your results will be disapointing or not as great as expected. So when you can, start doing as much exercise as possible and get that body toned to the max. Thats my two cents anyway.
