This was another me, another life ago. I'd already lost about 20 pounds, and was just over 300 pounds here.

Once the fat is gone, you are confronted with an equally frustrating cosmetic and psychologically devasting problem: hanging, flapping, loose, excess skin. Diet and exercise will not have any appreciable effect on this redundant skin.

Some are able to lose weight on their own. Others chose weight loss surgery. Bariatric Surgery and Gastric Bypass Surgery are surging in popularity. With massive weight loss in a short time, skin often does not shrink well; you can end up with sagging skin that may not tighten up. Your age, the length of time you've been overweight, and the amount of weight you lost are all factors that determine whether or not sagging skin after weight loss will stay that way. Having successfully battled obesity, formerly morbidly obese people who had thought that once they lost their massive weight they would be attractive again, are disappointed and frustrated with unsightly folds of skin that now cover their groin like an apron, hang off their arms (known as bat wings or bingo wings), and wiggle from their legs when the walk. It also creates a problem for personal hygiene and in finding clothes that fit. This challenge has led millions of individuals to surgery after massive weight loss.

Lower Body Lift Surgery In lower body lift surgery, also called body lift or circumferential belt lipectomy, excess skin and fat is removed from the torso, tightening the abdominal muscles, and lifting and tightening buttocks, thighs, and hips. For many patients that have lost over a hundred pounds, lower body lift surgery is the best procedure to the midsection and lower body with a single operation. Arm Lift During arm lift, or brachioplasty, drooping excess skin and residual fat is removed from the arms and the skin of the upper arms is tightened. Tummy Tuck Some massive weight loss patients do not require full lower body lift surgery and are better served with a traditional tummy tuck (abdominoplasty). During tummy tuck, excess abdominal skin is removed, the abdominal muscles are tightened, and the remaining skin is drawn taut across the upper and lower abdomen. Unlike lower body lift, tummy tuck does not improve the appearance of the lower back, hips, buttock, and thighs; however, because it is less invasive than a body lift, abdominoplasty can safely be performed in conjunction with other body contouring procedures, such as arm lift or breast surgery. Breast Lift & Augmentation After massive weight loss, some women are left with sagging breasts due to a dramatic loss of breast volume and an overabundance of excess skin. Breast lift, also called mastopexy, can treat this problem by elevating the position of the breasts, removing excess skin, and reshaping the breast to restore firmness and proper shape. Surgery can also reduce the size of the areola to correct the appearance of the nipple area Combined Procedures and Staging Your Surgeries Several of the cosmetic procedures mentioned can safely be performed during a single operation, allowing maximum improvement within a single recovery period. Some patients will require more than one operation to safely rejuvenate the body, such as a lower body lift surgery followed by breast and arm surgery.

The available information about diet, exercise, weight loss and skin reduction is most often tempered to a politically correct, palatable level. While kind and compassionate, sensitive and caring, it is far from truth. When you're ready to face the reality, as opposed to talking about it, you escalate the level of directness in the messages. Then there's the truth. The truth is blunt, straight forward, and holds back no punches. The truth of obesity and the road to recovery is brutal.
