Lou...congrats on your weight loss so far. I can totally understand your disappointment. I know you realize it's for your own good but that doesn't always make it easier. Beth is right. I had about 8 lbs removed from my stomach and thighs at the same time and I, too, lost a lot of blood. Because of all our fat, the blood vessels have to wind themselves thru all that fat to provide blood to the skin. You would have a lot of complications such as would infections, most likely tissue necrosis, wound dehiscense. Sounds like you have a very competent plastic surgeon working with you. Just keep plugging away at the weight loss and you will get there. Sue
