I am a woman in her 60's who has continually gain weight over the past 20yrs. despite the fact that I really dislike eating. I also have rheumatoid arthritis and had gotten to the point where I could hardly walk or stand without my lower back tightening up to the point that I couldn't move my legs. My overhanging stomach was acting like a counterweight putting pressure on my spine. I contacted 5 physicians who said that I had to loose 100lbs. first. If I could have done that I wouldn't have been seeking surgery! Dr. Reisin gave me my life back. His compassionate manor made the whole experience a blessing. Words can not express the caring and support given by the entire staff. We only have one life, if surgery can enhance yours, I highly recommend you consider Star Plastic Surgery.
