Thanks Crysania. Interesting.. - That answered a lot of questions.

Denine: I wondered about your friend. You said she loves it, did she have to spend much time in the hospital? Did she mention what it cost?

I used to be self conscious about my bulging tummy and how huge I was... now I'm self conscious about a flat tummy with saggy skin on it. YUCK! Neither one is very appealing. I've had 3 kids in 4 years which wreaks havoc on your skin, and losing 70lbs on top of that really makes things look different. The thing that frustrates me the most is that I have complete control over my diet, I can create muscle by weight lifting, I can lose fat by exercise and diet. But what the hell can I do about loose skin? I can't exercise to get rid of it, there is absolutely no cure. I hate not being able to do something about parts of my body that bother me. I've thought about a tummy tuck, but would prefer to skip the surgery. I will work my abs off and make the most rock hard tummy I can and give my body time to heal itself. Hopefully! I wasn't an extreme case though. I never started out at 400+ lbs then dropped to 130. I think those people deserve some surgical help to make them a completely beautiful person. Anyhow, that's my 2 cents. Thanks for listening
