Apron Removal

Bostongurl,
I noticed my apron right after having my first baby,at 17 yrs old.The skin there never tightened no matter how much wieight I ever lost.You probably would have noticed if you were going to having hanging skin by now.I lost the weight really fast with my band so my skin deflated big time,everywhere including my boobs.This had never happened to me before so I knew there was no hope.I had to have a full body lift and boob lift with implants.I'm 2 weeks post op from those procedures.but I'm so happy I was banded!!

Lisa, do you mind if I ask how much a body lift costs? Just curious.

A full lower body lift in TJ with Dr Soberanes costs $9000.He goes in a complete circle around your waist and back area,he shapes lower in areas that the incision can be beautifully hidden in nice pair of underwear.He lifts everything from the outer,front and back of your thighs,butt,back,tummy,groin.Of course the tummy and back area are also pulled down at the same time as the rest is lifted up.I'm left with a baby smooth butt and thighs.Not one trace of cellulite! It's crazy! I love it! I went in wearing a size 11 and some 9's and now I'm in a size 5! I'll be in some sexy underwear as soon as all of my incisions heal! I will finally have my dream come true and be able to pierce my belly button this summer too,this has been my dream since I was a jealous teenager who watched and envied over women that had beautiful tummies with nice shiny belly rings.I hated them!! LOL!! Now I get the jealous envious looks.It feels SO WEIRD!:heh:

Carol, I had never read your signature line before, and I nearly busted out laughing in the middle of my office here.

:biggrin1:

Could you please give me any more information you have about the place in Toronto. I always hear about LB patients going to Mexico, but never Canada. Anyone here have the actual LB sugery done in Canada?

I've had the hanging apron for 22 years. I am looking forward to being banded to lose 120 lbs that just don't budge! I am wondering what the effect of significant weight loss is going to have on my apron. Anyone experienced this or have any idea what I may expect?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, if your like me, it will still be there, but it will look like a deflated balloon :(. But still much better than having the weight :)
