I was just told I was too heavy to qualify fo liposuction...WTF??

[RefuseToLose]

I'm going to be depressed for a while now. I just had a consultation this morning with a plastic surgeon and he said that I had to drop atleast 30 pounds before he would operate on me. What really pisses me off is that I have been dieting for the better part of a year now and I've gone from around 25% all the way down to 11%...where I've been for awhile now. I don't care about being the most shredded guy in the world...I just have some stubborn fat on my lower abs and love handles that I want sucked out so I don't have to mess with it anymore. I'm happy with everything else, and I don't want to have to give up all my mass to get rid of a little puddgy area. He said that at my height (6'4") the heaviest I could be and still have the surgery was 250....I'm 280 now...if I could get down to 250 and maintain my current mass then I wouldn't even need the lipo, I'd be ripped to the bone.What pisses me off is that when I was looking through his book at his clients almost all of them where still fatter than I am after they got lipo....and they really looked bad before. Judging by his book I'd be the most physically fit person he ever worked on and I'm too heavy?? I'm going to shop around for another plastic surgeon and find someone who will do it, but that just ruined my day...probably my week...and Friday is my birthday and instead of getting myself what I wanted (lipo), I'll be giving myself an extra 30 minutes on the treadmill and a few less carbs.....can't even think about some birthday cake. Damn, just had to vent.

Was this consultation in person?

find someone else to do it bro, i remember when you posted a long time ago and it seems like youve made awesome progress since then. im not a plastic surgeon, or a doctor for that matter but i dont know what bodywieght has to do with not being able to do it. if its a lypo thing than whatever, but a friend of mine weighs 430 at 6'4 and he just had a knee replacement.

Plastic surgeons can be interesting people.

I went to one who didnt know an asshole from a boob. Needless to say I am still searching for one.

Keep looking and definately get another opinion. I wish you the best of luck.

Yeah it was in person. I've spoken with 4 other doctor offices over the phone and they all set me up an appointment for a consultation so i'm hopefully goign to get it done. One of the secretaries I spoke with said the other doctor may have just been concerned about my weight due to anasthesia purposes and not because of the procedure itself.

I've been on hGH for a couple months nw in anticipation of having lipo done because I know it will help with my skin elasticity...if no one will do it then the hGH will have been for nothing because I wasn't on any gear except for the first 2 weeks I used it.
