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 will air 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."
