Saw on Discovery Health where a young man on the East Coast had a total body lift. Have to say it made me believe that I will never have it done.
He had lost 189 pounds through gastric bypass, from 409 down to 220. During the surgery, he was cut in every possible direction, had his own tissue folded under to fill out his butts, a thigh lift, a guy's breast reduction and a tummy tuck. Looked bloody painful... lost 20 pounds of skin in the process. Not sure it's worth it for me. Could be eating my words in a few years, but dang!
