She tells him that she is extremely self-conscious with all the loose skin. He says he doesn’t think she is quite ready yet. She has to loose all the weight she wants to lose. She doesn’t want to pay, have this done and then loose another 30 pounds. He thinks she probably has 40 pounds of loose skin. He tells her that she should be at 180 pounds before they do it and he will refer her to some doctor who can do it. Vannessa is excited.
