How to Lose 1 Pound Without Dieting

WORTH IT$3,000
I’ve been wanting to get my skin removal below the belly button for a few years now. Want to look good in bikini for the summer.
My procedure takes place tomorrow in the doctors office. I will be given a local anesthetic. he says it’ll be a three hour procedure. He also told me I will lose a pound of skin. I have never been more than my present weight so this is just skin from getting old.
I will post more in the days to come.
The cost for this is fairly cheap, $3000

I didn’t lose any weight. But didn’t gain any, either. Here is what was cut from my belly. I am feeling well. Very pleased that I only have to wear a compression garment that looks more like a girdle. I will need to wear this for two months.

Day 10 post op. An issue

It appears as though a 2 inch stretch on the left side did not close properly. The skin turned inward as we discovered when the stitches were being removed on day nine. Will have to be cut again and corrected in a couple weeks

How did the second try go? Did it heal better?

I’m wondering how you’re doing now. Can you post updated pictures? Are you happy with the results?
