I'm 39, 5'8" weight 390; my normal blood pressure is 70/110 and I recently passed a stress test with flying colors. I have successfully undergone several surgeries in the past without complications - chin implant, left breast implant, breast lift, tumescent liposuction (4 liters) in 1995; a lap band in 2007; and tubal ligation. Would I be a good candidate for large volume liposuction? What is the maximum volume of fat that could be removed in one surgery in Florida? Hospital stay assumed.

The banana roll is a tricky area and has been caused at times by liposuction done on the buttock or posterior thigh. Yours may be improved with conservative liposuction and sometimes treating the outer thighs (saddlebags) can help this are also.
You can use a different compression garment after liposuction surgery, however I recommend you have your surgeon check it out to be sure it is enough compression in the right places.
Thank you for your question. To provide a valid medical opinion I will need to see pictures of you body from different angles. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.
