Call it a morbid Victorian-Era-style curiosity, but a 23 year old with a lap-band - which would mean he was over 18 and over a 40+ BMI when he got it - must have a tennis court's worth of excess skin tucked away under there, given he must have dropped the weight insanely quickly.

I DEMAND TO SEE THIS MARVEL!

You might do if he gets selected to be one of the strippers for the last part of today's task

I really don't want to vomit

How much overweight was he? He's about 6'4" so even 50lbs of weight loss wouldn't cause any excess skin.

can be we sure that Steven isn't making out he has a gastric just to impress and influence people?

I wouldn't put it past him, bullshit comes tumbling out of his gob with not one iota of thought

Exactly. I wouldn't believe a word he says quite frankly.

Is that just the NHS conditions? Meaning, could he have had it done privately if he was less overweight/lower BMI? Or he could have had the excess skin dealt with privately?

I know nothing about this whatsoever

he did say on his intro VT that he had the band because he couldn't be bothered to diet... so perhaps he didn't actually have that much to lose and he just waved some money around to get the job done.

since he's so rich and a 'successful' businessman he would have had the gastric band done privately - and therefore wouldn't have had to meet the NHS's stringent criteria for bariatric surgery. So he might not have been that obese

still I'd like to see an old picture of him to see just how fat he was (I still think he's quite fat actually).

anyone want to scavenge through his social media sites?. Someone with an ego as big as his must have photos out there somewhere.

He'll also have a scar/loose skin so that's probably why he hasn't gone topless in the house

I notice Steven decided not to be one of the fireman strippers yesterday. glad we were spared the revolting sight of his flab and loose skin

For some reason, that makes him even less appealing to me than he was before.

Has Steven not been in the pool yet?
I just can't remember.

He has I think but we didn't see anything!

Just me who thinks he's gorgeous then? not on the inside though.

no he's flabby, fat faced with weird bulging eyes

He's young enough for loose skin not to be too much of a problem. I had a gastric bypass, rather than the band at 38yrs old and dropped 9 stone. The only loose skin I have is my upper arms and a tiny bit on my stomach. Other people have awful problems with it but it's quite hit and miss and the younger you are the less likely your skin is to look bad.

I'm 24 year old dude and have lost over eight stone since May 2012. I don't have much in terms of loose skin.

Yeah, he's young enough that he shouldn't have too much of a problem, unless he's unlucky with his genes.

No, there's me too The personality though, not so much...

good for you. I presume you did it the natural way with diet and exercise rather than lazy people with more money than sense a la Steven ?

we saw Steven with his top off in tonight's episode. I couldn't see any scar

probably lied about having the gastric band op like he lies about everything else.

he did have a paunch though

had to laugh that the first thing he did after a night of 'passion' with Kimbot was check his belly out in the mirror

if it were anyone else I would think that were strange...

What was the story again?
At age 4 he lied to his teacher and classmates that his house burned down in order to get their sympathy and get new toys? Was that it?

I wonder what was the fall-out…did he get punished for that lie? Or did he get new toys? Did he turn his behaviour around or did the adults in his life indulge his behaviour because he was so "cute"…?

This "man" is a piece of work.

I thought having a gastric band meant that you couldnt eat to much, because the stomach is made so that only very small amounts can be eaten. If thats correct then how come he is always shoveling food down his neck.

yep, it means he's either lying or already snapped his band.

you've got to wonder why somebody would lie about having bariatric surgery?

But this is batshit Skeve we're talking about, so who knows what goes through his nutty mind - maybe he thinks gastric bands are the new fashion craze that all the cool kids get
