Guest guest Posted June 13, 1999 Report Share Posted June 13, 1999 Hi Geoff I am full of admiration and congratulate on your magnificent weight loss and in such a short time. It gives me real heart as I have a similar amount to lose. I understand that abdominoplasty is fairly painful but hey, you can stand it. Are there no plastic surgery lists that you can subscribe to where you might find more information? I have heard that the 'apron' can weigh up to 30 pounds. Good luck to you and I await with interest to hear of your progress. Love Janet You said >I'm scheduled for abdominoplasty on July 29th.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 1999 Report Share Posted June 13, 1999 Hi all, If anyone wants them, I have before and after pictures of a man who lost 150 pounds/68 kilos and has had abdominoplasty. I have five pictures - One of him dressed, pre-op. One is of his stomach, while he's standing, pre-op. One is of his abdominal area, while he's on the operating table. One is his abdominal area post-op. One of him dressed, post-op. If you want them, just e-mail me and I will send them to you.
