I've been thinking about getting this done in the next two-three years when I'm in my 20s. I have a visible six pack now, but I want the type that you can stick a quarter into. I just don't think I have the genetics to get it. Any one else considering this? I'm going for the John Basedow abdominal look, though bigger everywhere else(www.fitnessmadesimple.com). I've heard that he had this surgery as well. Also, from what I read, once the fat between the individual ab sections is gone, it won't come back. You need a solid foundation and a low body fat to be successful with the surgery in the first place, though.
