This 48 year-old woman had open Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in 2003. Her starting weight was 420 lbs. and she had lost 160 lbs. at presentation to my office. She weighed 262 lbs when she came to my office with a BMI of 39. Her main concern was her abdominal panniculus. She had an abdominal panniculectomy and had approximately

27 lbs. of tissue removed at that time. Multiple hernias were repaired at the same time. During her recovery, she had a minor complication when there was a small hematoma (blood collection) that was drained and managed with local wound care. She is scheduled to have a breast reduction and inner thigh lift. Her weight is now 240 lbs with a BMI of 36. We will also revise the abdominal area at the same time.
