Massive Weight Loss Before & After Case 33

After Losing Over 100 pounds, A Tummy Tuck Provides the Finishing Touch for This Mississauga Woman.

This vivacious 33 year old nurse had tipped the scale at 340 pounds at her heaviest. The excess weight was taking a serious toll, limiting her ability to work, causing her to be socially withdrawn, and ultimately sending her into a depression. Whe her doctor told her she was diabetic, and that her health would further deteriorate if she didn’t lose the weight, she was finally motivated. She lost well over 100 pounds over a couple of years, first with diet and then introducing exercise. She discovered she enjoyed working out on the treadmill and doing kick boxing, but after her weight loss the tremendous amount of loose sagging skin left behind made working out very uncomfortable. She knew she was so unhappy with her body in that condition, that the only solution was surgery. During a 6 hour procedure, Dr. Weinberg performed a major tummy tuck, removing a huge piece of skin and fat from the abdomine , and bilateral arm lifts. For the next several days the patient recuperated at home, reporting some menstrual type abdominal cramps on movement. At day 10 she was able to have the drains removed, and by 2 months she was almost completely recovered. At that time she had returned to most exercises , though she wasn’t yet comfortable jogging. She stated she felt “ awesome”, and was enjoying dressing up and going out wiht friends.
