for those that have lost ALOT of weight, what are you going to do about the extra skin?

i was just wondering of those that have lost ALOT of weight (100 lbs or more) what are you planning on doing with the extra skin if you have it? at first i was told that my insurance would cover skin removal, but now i am reading that most insurances do not cover that as iti s considered cosmetic not medically necessary. i am just starting the process, but this is a concern of mine, i carry my weight in my belly area, and of course "the GIRLS" have been heading south for quite a few years they are already defalted balloons, cant imagine if i am down 100 pounds what they will look like then.

thanks for taking the time to answer and congrats on your weight loss

  • Hi grmadeb01, Congrats on your surgery. I hope all goes well for you. One thing I have done is every time I go in to see my doctor (band doc or just general physician), I point out to them any prob

Definitely getting PS. I do plan to do a lot of weight-lifting and programs like P90X (which I start in 4 weeks :D) to see if it helps any. I know building muscle tone can work wonders, so we will see. In the end I know I'll need PS but I'm giving myself more time to save up and be as healthy as possible.

I have lost ALOT of weight and the only problem area I have is my tummy which I would like to have a tummy tuck and my insurance will pay for it if it is medically necessary. So as I have noticed others are doing I do the same when I go to the doctors I complain about any issue I am having and make sure they note it. I have had rashes and yeast infections and then bacterial infection from the yeast infection opening up and getting worse. So if you have insurance make sure you complain to your doctor as well if you have any problems (rashes). Good Luck its a hard journey but well worth it.
