I am also very much against this surgery, and have two friends who had it done - with success I must say, they are both slim and look good (with clothes on). But the skin folds are there underneath, and one has had some surgery to remove skin, and also had breast reduction, but it's all so painful and extreme in my opinion. Both also eat horribly same foods they ate before and just less. One of them is pretty much anorexic I think, I only see her drinking diet sodas mostly. The other one had to be taken off a cruise ship, for emergency surgery to fix a leak of some kind, not sure what it was exactly, but she was close to death, the ship actually went to closest harbor to get her off board! She looks emaciated, but is proud of her looks, always feels nauseated and other problems too … no thanks, I'd rather do it the old fashioned way.
