I at 45 decided along with my family to have a mommy makeover and I along with my family alone can only understand what it is like to have this HUGE apron of skin that hung around my waist gone - It has made a huge postitive difference in my life and until you have had to experience it you won't ever know as with other that have chosen WL surgery or LC lifestyle we all do what will enrich our lives for the better and not to is only robbing us and our loved ones.

I fully agree with you. What is mutilation to one is life saving to another.

My issue is being so glaringly ill-informed about a topic and writing nonsense about it. It's not fair to those who WLS might be of benefit and are looking for accurate info. People use message boards such as this to research what is right for them and how to go about doing it.

Most WLS folks do low carb, there isn't a surgery type out there that fixes white carbs. There are restrictive only surgeries and there are restrictive/malabsorptive surgeries. DS is the only one that malabsorbs some complex carbs. So there are many people who will have or have had WLS that would benefit from this very board.

Suggesting that I paid $20K to mutilate myself is insulting and degrading. I am at goal, I am happy.

I'm thrilled for you that you had your mommy make-over. I plan to do the same. I'm going to be one good looking 50 y/o in a year or two!
