Hello,
You would want to spread that much skin removal out over two operations, because it would be way too risky to get them all done at once. It would also be incredibly painful. With that said, in a down economy most specialist surgeons are offering major discounts on elective surgeries, and plastic surgeons especially are doing this.
I don't personally know of a good plastic surgeon in Connecticut, but your bariatric surgeon's office will know of a couple that get good results, and I would give him/her a call.

The total cost for your surgeries will run in the 16-20k range, considering that two operations will be necessary.

Good luck,
Dr Dan
