Guest guest Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 No I don't mind at all. My starting weight was 355lbs. and my weight now is 225 lbs. I am 5'10 " tall and still have some weight to loose but I am very happy at this point. My doctor said my weight should be around 180 lbs. I carry most of my excess weight in my legs now. I had the surgery done also for health reasons because my back was sore all the time and I used to get infections under the apron of skin so that is why I didn't wait until I was down to my ideal weight. Both my family phys. and my plastic surgeon agreed that I would never have a flat stomach without the surgery because the skin would never bounce back, just hang lower. They said it also depends on how bad your stretch marks are because that takes some of the elasticity out of the skin. I am glad I had the surgery and would recommend this to anyone who has this problem. The recovery from it is not as bad as you might think.

Both my family phys. and my plastic surgeon agreed that I would never have a flat stomach without the surgery because the skin would never bounce back, just hang lower. They said it also depends on how bad your stretch marks are because that takes some of the elasticity out of the skin. I am glad I had the surgery and would recommend this to anyone who has this problem. The recovery from it is not as bad as you might think.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2003 Report Share Posted August 20, 2003 No I don't mind at all. My starting weight was 355lbs. and my weight now is 225 lbs. I am 5'10 " tall and still have some weight to loose but I am very happy at this point. My doctor said my weight should be around 180 lbs. I carry most of my excess weight in my legs now. I had the surgery done also for health reasons because my back was sore all the time and I used to get infections under the apron of skin so that is why I didn't wait until I was down to my ideal weight.
