I am currently undergoing consultations to select a surgeon. I am hoping to have the procedure performed in early August. Many years ago, I underwent some medical issues that resulted in me losing a kidney (you can see the scar in one of the pictures). I went through about 18 months of multiple procedures, not being able to exercise, etc. I got up to 260 pounds (I am 5'8") at my heaviest. For the past 5 years I have been working hard doing CrossFit and running to get myself in shape. I am now down to 175 pounds. My abs are actually visible at the top but the excess skin and tissue left over from weight loss are problematic. The skin bounces uncomfortably when I run and generally gets in the way when doing CrossFit activities such as wall balls, cleans, etc. I have finally decided to have the skin removed more due to the discomfort that it causes me than for the way it looks. However, I am looking forward to looking more trim/fit and may be being comfortable enough to take my shirt off in public for the first time in over 20 years.

Dude - I just did same thing at 51 years of age. You'll love it. Top 2 pieces of advice: (1) select a surgeon that works on men as a significant portion of their practice, and (2) be in the best shape possible before surgery - I think this helped speed my recovery time. Good luck!

Hey brother what’s your name?! Care if I add you on Facebook? I’m from your area and can’t decide on Chas or Dr deal.
