TYLER, TX (KLTV) - Cheryl Iturbide is a mom of three who lost more than 100 pounds. After her massive weight loss, she opted for body contouring surgery. The East Texan is part of the rising number of middle-age Americans turning to plastic surgery. Iturbide says that she can wear a bikini for the first time in 20 years thanks to her body contouring surgery. She says her weight had spiraled out of control. "I had three kids and I've just you know got big and bigger and bigger and was just miserable," said Iturbide. "I had always exercised and tried to eat right. I knew how but I guess I just couldn't control myself." Approaching 40, she decided it was time for a change. At 250 pounds, she opted for a lap band procedure. "It sounds crazy, but you just wake up one day and you're like, 'This is it. I've had it. I'm not doing this anymore. There's got to be a way to help me,'" Iturbide shared. The surgery led to a weight loss of more than 100 pounds, and loose, saggy skin around her stomach. "Once the skin has stretched out from being over weight and being pregnant, there is no exercise you can do to get rid of the loose skin there," explained Iturbide. Read the full article from KLTV.
