    Default Any Guys out there who have had cosmetic surgery?

    October will be 2 years post op for me. I have lost 180lbs. My skin isn't that bad but its starting to get uncomfortable when I jog and do other exercise.

    Just wondering if:

    You have had surgery & what type:

    If you are happy with your choice and would you do it all over again if you had to.

    Thank you in advance....

    I had an abdominoplasty and flank liposuction done 18 months and 110 pounds after my sleeve. I was basically kicking tires at the plastic surgeon's office, wondering if I wanted to have it done. I looked at the before-and-after pictures in the doctor's "brag book", and I saw my exact body in one of the "before" pictures. I looked the doctor in the eye and said "you can make THAT look like THAT?" He said absolutely. I was hooked....and he did.

    He refused to do an abdominoplasty without flank liposuction "I guarantee if I did do that, you will NOT be happy with the results, you'll look asymmetrical".

    Getting sleeved is 2/3 the battle....the plastic surgery is the other 1/3. You'll go from looking "real good now" to "looking GREAT".

    Bob! You're back! Or at least you dropped by.

    Glad to hear your surgery turned out so well.

    Chief Rob ... another long-time member here, "Mich-D" (Dwayne from Michigan), has had significant plastic surgery. Find his blog / posts here. He's a really nice, good guy. He'll also be posting before/after pix about his surgery here soon.

    I was only out for a couple of days. As far as pain goes, I had a $300 pain block put in with my abdominoplasty, it wears off after 5 days but takes away most of the pain associated with the first week. (you WILL feel it when it finally wears off, however). Surprisingly, the liposuction holes on my flanks hurt the most.
