Anybody see Total Body Lift on Discovery Health? - ThinnerTimes

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!

I saw it. It was totally amazing. He had some horrible problems. I would definately have done it if I were him. I was shocked that at his age, it didn't go back. But, I hear you it isn't for everyone. I have to say, though I will do it after seeing that, I am fearing it more. I am really hoping I only need the tummy tuck and boobs lifted. I had originally thought I would need the whole body lift, but so far things seem to be going back where they came from in the back. Keeping my fingers crossed that they continue to do so!

I saw that it was on but opted not to watch, still too dang close to home and didn't want to see WHY I was/am so miserable!

Didn't see this one, but caught the incredible shirinking woman the other night. Unreal pain and open wounds she had. Infection was unreal....it totally turned me off ever being cut open....but maybe short lived....my time for PS will come one day soon!
