I feel here that people ask for opinions but do not really want them. It scares me the numbers of people here that talk about having plastic surgery like there going to get fingernails polished or something. I had a friend die during a simple tummy tuck and she was healthy as a horse beforehand, had EKG run beforehand ect. Her kids lost there mom all because she wanted a stupid flat stomach and maybe 5 pounds of skin and I just dont get it. I gave my opinion to someone else and got blasted for it. So if you wish to risk your life for vanity go ahead but dont ask for opinions if you dnot want them. The risk of death is more real than anyone on these boards wants to admit.

First of all congrats on your loss! You are truly an inspiration. You may not like what I have to share but im passionate and feel I need to give you all the info. My friend charlotte lost her life after this procedure. I know it is not what you want to hear and I'm feeling somewhat bad about giving you doubts but if it saves only one life it will be worth it!!! Charlotte was healthy mom of 2 and had lost 133 pounds with the band. She went for a tummy tuck and was planning a breast lift when she healed. Totally unexpected her heart stopped in surgery and she never came out of it. Her kids were 6 and 9 at the time. She never had a heart problem in her life even when she weighted near 300 pounds. Please think about it. God bless!!!!!!

It is a journey and we will all stumble!!!! If you lose too fast you will regret it later. Take it one day at a time and soon your good days will outnumber your bad ones and the scales will go in the right direction!
