I had a lapband placed 10/13/2008 and subsequently lost 150 pounds going from about 350 pounds to just under 200 pounds. I am a six foot tall, 57 year old male. I had excess tissue, resistant fat pockets, and skin laxity that I knew would never resolve with diet and exercise. While that lapband was a success, I didn't feel that the process was complete without addressing the poor body...
10 years ago i lost 130 lbs. The hanging skin on my belly was nauseating to me. After dreamming about a flat tummy for 50 yrs i decided to cash in my 401 and have a body lift and tummy tuck. Only once since the day of surgery have I question my choice. So very glad I did this. Never ever have I had a flat tummy. I do now. I have some very minor healing issues. Not any other issues...
