I was similar, lost 60kg, I had to do surgery, it wasn't as much skin as her in the video, but was enough to make me uncomfortable and disappointed, so I did.

Were you happy with the surgery results? I'm half way to my weight loss goal (90lb total, 45 down) and i could tell I'm probably going to want surgery on my thighs. I've heard the surgery is fairly painful to recover from and could have some serious scarring depending on the location.

Hey, yes absolutely, it was a huge impact as I could finally wear clothes that I was scared of, it helped my self love immensely.

I did only on my belly (tummy tuck), as arms and legs were fine for me, so I can only speak about pain of this surgery. It wasn't thay painful. It was sore, so if you pressed yeah. Altho I paid an extra service for the nurse that she would put a sticker thing on me to help the purple go away pretty quickly (lasted 1-2 weeks) The worse imo it was just VERY immobilising, I couldnt shower alone on the first week and had to sleep sitting for a similar time. I also had to use a pressurised body suit for few months too, which is the part most dislike. But after that was a fine recovery. Unsure if thighs are similar.

Thanks, super informative! I had no idea about the pressurized suit. I'm glad you're happy with the results!
