They think > I have like 20lbs > in skin. -------- Please don't be disappointed if you turn out to have much LESS weight than that in skin to be removed from a tummy tuck. I went from 314 to 165 pounds and only had five pounds of skin removed from my extended tummy tuck. In order to get in the twenty pound range of excess skin, you typically have to start out in the super-morbidly obese category.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 I curb the carb monster with protein shakes. I really don't know how else to do it. It works most of the time which is good enough for me. Sherra One Year Re Birthday today > Hi Everyone, > Today is my one year anniversary. I had lap RNY 100cc bypassed.
