The Biggest Loser Talks about Weight Loss and Removing Excess Skin

There's no question, weight loss is hard to do. The dirty little secret that no one shares is that even once you lose the weight, you will probably have some excess skin to remove. Danny Cahill talks with "The Doctors" today about losing the weight and the skin left behind.

When Danny started out on The Biggest Loser he shared his story and admitted that when he was home, he and his wife would eat while watching the show. He worked very diligently on the show, exercising and watching his calories, and then carried those habits home with him. When he returned, he stepped onto the scales and shocked the world with his incredible weight loss.

As often happens after losing a lot of weight, Danny has excess skin that hangs from his stomach. Dr. Drew Ordon explains on that while Danny is able to get some skin contraction, all of that excess will not go away no matter how hard Danny tries. The only way to remove the skin is with surgery, which The Doctors offer to do for Danny.

Michigan SmartLipo Surgeon , Dr. Robert Burke of the Michigan Center for Cosmetic Surgery has found that SmartLipo laser lipo technology can be helpful in jumpstarting an exercise and weight loss program. His office performs about 100 SmartLipo procedures per month and they're getting amazing results. Dr. Burke says, "it's a team effort on the part of the patient.
