Physical Changes after Weight loss
Patient
of Courage looses over 150 lbs!
Jacqueline M is a patient of courage. A Stanford Graduate with a
degree in Psychology, Jackie struggled with her weight for years.
At the height of her morbid obesity she stood 5'4 and weighed over
300 lbs.
Jackie worked as the Vice President
of Product development in the successful high fashion world of women's
clothing design. Jackie was given a $50,000.00 a year clothing allowance.
Every woman's dream wardrobe was at her fingertips; her only
problem was her weight. Jackie could never fit the clothes
she helped design and develop.
Depressed, but optimistic she set
out on a mission to loss weight. Diet and exercise was not
enough so she had a form of gastroplasty surgery performed.
(Biliary pancreatic diversion) Months after her surgery Jackie successfully
lost over 150 lbs. At 5'4 she completely transformed her body with
surgery, exercise and a healthy diet. Pleased with her new weight
Jackie was not prepared for the excess loose skin that now hung
from her entire body. Throughout her weight loss she was counseled
emotionally, but never educated on how she may look after a huge
weight loss.
With recommendations from ASPS, Jackie
researched and consulted surgeons across the US for a board certified
surgeon to perform the next step in her quest for a new body shape.
She consulted with several surgeons before coming to Dr. Corbin
in California. After meeting with Dr.Frederic Corbin, Jackie
knew she found her surgeon.
Dr. Corbin performed a truncal
lift removing over 22 cm in vertical height from each lateral thigh
and over 8 lbs of excess hanging skin from her outer thighs.
Gone is the grotesque appearance of her lateral thighs and now they
are transformed into smooth tight skin hugging the contour of her
curvaceous thighs.

In order to help educate others who
are transforming their lives through major weight loss she
agreed to have her surgery filmed and documented by The Discovery
Channel. Jackies' surgery aired on September 29,2003 at 9:00 P.M.
In addition to her televised surgery,
Jackie now also counsels other patients on the weight loss surgery
she had. Often she lectures to over 100 people at once.
This surgery is the first of many
to come. Jackie is also going to have a brachioplasty, mastopexy
and medial thigh lift. The Discovery channel and Dr. Corbin will
be with her every step of the way. Changing her appearance
and quality of life she takes pride in educating other people on
major weight loss and the after affects it has on a body. She is
a patient of courage who exemplifies how determination, hard work
and surgery can improve health, happiness and appearance.
"Losing
over 150 lbs and having reconstructive surgery to contour my body
has given me my life back."
Jackie M.
