I'm not sure iabout the fabricated contrived part, bu****ching people getting great results from expensive elective procedures being  done by cream of the crop aka top experts in their field.certainly  created false impression and sanquine demand in general population. Are not people lining up for similar improvements from "not so practiced" mainstream providers often just  vunerable  canonfodder for "battle of the bulge" experimentation and practice.  Sorry I was hoping that somehow  the reason shows weren't on anymore was because "medical community" might  have had a hand in self censuring these shows to protect people from  dangerous and crude consequences of subliminally (via media advertised) fired mindset . 
Is the emporer wearing beautiful cloth that can only be seen by those who are not fools or is he actually naked?  
  By the way , you don't have to answer that.

My participation in Big Medicine was a very positive experience. My surgery was elective, but it did improve my quality of life immensely. Before the removal of the huge amount of excess skin and lipomas, I could not even lie down in a bed. It was like laying on a football. When I sat down, the excess skin would fold over and cause me a great deal of pain.

If you haven't walked in my shoes, you shouldn't complain.

I guess you just don't get what I'm saying.  Surgery like this is wonderful I agree but you were lucky , it was no doubt done by a really top notch - surgeon with plenty of practice at it and if you had paid for it yourself may not have been able to afford.  Maybe I'm wrong, maybe you did pay for it ...I don't remember everything about the  "Big Medicine"  show. But  shows I saw the receipients got free work. Anyway these top notch surgeons probably did some pretty crude "not so great" stuff before they attain "top notch" stature.  There's a lot more to great body contouring than text book style  "nip tucking.  People like snow flakes are all different from each other.    These subtle differences would have to be slowly adjusted for after learning through botching.  That's why they call it Medical practice or medical arts.  Sure the art comes after much practice, practice practice. That's the way it is.
 Skin covers 100 percent of the body and plastic surgeons until  somewhat recently dealt more with burns and grafts and healing that 100% area.  Now the demand has been created for them to  change everything without heavy specialization in orthapedics , or gynecology or body mechanics physiatry .  This was not really their original calling or responsibilty.  There are real experts out there and some on their way  to the " top."   It's admirable of them. There's a lot of need, demand and it's certainly lucrative.  Just  10 years ago Dr. Ted Lockwood was  about the only doctor worth  salt at doing this well and he wasn't telling his "special " secrets gained over many years.   I met with him and he told me this. Almost immediately after he died and all sorts of experts popped up to take his place.
I am very glad for you. My guys seemed like they knew what they were doing but  were only about 1/3 ready for prime time . I'm all ripped up inside.  They just smeared  my good strong important pelvic  floor or pelvic slope skin upwards  super tight and cut it off and sewed it to thin weak skin without much regard for functionality.  My whole pelvis/ groin has " whiplash"There was so much about me, and my medical history  they didn't take into consideration and I think it was due to their not wanting to stray from following a generic  way of doing this with general markers as their guides because they were not equipt to deal with my sublte but well documented differences  It's probably not easy to turn down a chance at honing skills by turning down the infrequent  cash paying  lab rat even if you know  you don't know enough to correctly address their uniqueness.  If a procedure is done text book style there's no liabilty and there is always that alotted amount of collateral damage built into any system.

No, I didn't get my work done for free. I think I got a discount, but not free. Plus, part of mine was covered my insurance due to a large hernia.

Dr. LoMonaco is a highly skilled surgeon who specializes in weight loss surgery patients.
