Follow-Up with Stacey

After losing all that weight so quickly, Stacey's body was left with folds and folds of excess skin that would require 10 complicated and painful operations to remove. During surgery number five, Stacey got a face-lift, an arm lift and liposuction on her vaginal area.

"I don't like surgery at all. But in order to not be as depressed, I have to go through with it," Stacey said before the procedure. "With all the skin that comes away comes more of the sadness. I just want to get that time back that I lost. And somehow, through surgery, it feels like I'm getting time back."

Stacey still needs at least five more surgeries to repair her skin, and knee surgery.
