Starting Stats 18 Years Old ~ 5'9" ~ 308.4 lbs ~ XXL Shirt & 42 Pants
Current Stats 21 Years Old ~ 5'11" ~ 168 lbs ~ M Shirt & 32 Pants
Thursday marked a big day for me, as I received an abdominoplasty to remove excess skin from my stomach. It cost me $10,000 CAD , which obviously incredibly expensive, but I was beginning to notice mental side effects of a small (and I do believe it was small) pouch of skin on my lower stomach and thought that at my younger age it would be worth it long term. Fortunately, I received a loan from my mother to make it happen. For that I'm obviously greatful. Interestingly enough, I have an abdominal binder on until my follow up appointment on Wednesday, and I have chosen to not peak at the results yet. So I will have to update later on with pictures.
Here's my last picture.
If anyone has any questions, I'd love to offer insight into some of the tips I can offer someone beginning. Also, I intend to post pictures of the actual end results because of the fact that I found it so difficult to find males that had abdominoplasty procedures.

Awesome job on the weightloss!
I totally understand, you wanting the skin removed. I had a more extensive surgery (upside down T-Cut on stomach and upper abs and had my breasts 'rehung'). It was totally worth it. Had more lose skin than you (woman / short / live long obesity), that bothered me during working out, buying clothes and the general look of things. It is much easier for me to live with the extensive scars (healed well, but a bit of keloids on the upper abs, that have now been removed/resown), than with the belly and ab flaps I had. Take care of you scars and don't do too much too fast.0 -

Amazing. Well done. Surgery will not be everyone's cup of tea but if it is something that you personally felt would help then that is all that matters. :-)0

2.5 years of losing, and just over 6 months of maintenance. I remember stepping on the scale being 308lbs and in my mind I was expecting to be 260lbs max, so I got scared to change or else I knew ther would be major health affects.

Great job!
It wasn't covered unfortunately, and it was $10,000 Canadian dollars.0
