Hi all, I got some info that I want to share with you all but you probably already know. Someone told me that while in the process of losing weight and you discover any rash or unusual something on your skin or under the folds of the skin, do not treat it yourself. Let your PCP know so they could have a record of it that way, the insurance company might approve the excess skin removal surgery or whatever the name is.
