Since many have asked me via PM. The surgery I was referring to is a circumferential body lift. I had GBP in January of 2006 and that was incredibly successful in giving me my life back, I would do it again in a heartbeat. The CBL would remove all the excess skin around the abdomen and the remaining skin would be stretched and then sewn together. Some fatty deposits are also liposuctioned out to contour your body shape. Estimated weight loss from this procedure, in my case, would be 15 pounds.
