If the Shriners Hospital does Tummy Tucks for free.

I was at a Lap Band meeting and someone was talking about it. they said that the donate your skin to the burn victums...

Let me know

Wow, I'd be really interested in finding out about this too!!!

What I've heard is that this really isn't true because the skin from weight loss patients is so stretched that it's really not healthy enough for skin grafts. I did see another post somewhere about another use for skin from WLS patients and I will try to find it.

I saw something about this on the news. It was a lady who ended up with tons (was not even able to get in her car) of extra skin after being banded. The skin was donated to burn victims, but I believe the dr who did the tummy tuck did it for free because of her situation. I only was able to half pay attention.

The story about free TT's for skin donation is pretty much an urban myth. I saw the actual news clip of the woman that RHCPGirl mentioned but hers was a special case.

We're pretty much on our own for TT's and such. But it's worth it (especially if the insurance pays for all or part or it.)

yeah,I read somewhere on the internet that it was a dr. in birmingham,Al . now how much truth to that I don't know.
