This is a picture I took before I had my
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) Plastic Surgery with Lateral Thigh Lift to
remove excess sagging skin from my midsection (150 lb. weight loss). The
blood stains on the
compression garment show the seepage from the
suture areas, which stopped almost immediately. Note that the
surgical drains are squeezed to make a suction for the drain fluid.

Background: I am a 54 year old man who is
5' - 7 1/2" tall and had attained a weight of over 300 pounds. Over 2
years of dieting and daily exercise I reduced my weight to 155lbs (lost
over 150 pound weight loss). This left me with a lot of excess skin
around my belly and midsection. Since I didn't want to live with this
for the rest of my life (See my
"Before" Pictures), I decided to look into a Tummy Tuck operation.
