Your Skin Saves Lives

If you decide to move forward with surgery, consider donating your excess skin. Your skin could help up to 50 or more burn victims.

I know I am opting for plastic surgery after I reached my goal weight and have been stable for a few months. I'm glad I found this site because I will now donate any excess skin.

Recycle yourself. Save a life.

P.S. It's Donor not Doner. You don't want to be a kebab. Haha!

I didn't see anything on that site about being a living skin donor, only about cadaver skin donations. Other sites seem to say that skin from living donors is not usable:

As far as I know you can't donate skin.

Thanks for that. I found it on here so I expected they had done the research:

I've been diagnosed with Hashimoto but seem to be doing fine with my weight loss. It will be 4 months on December 18 and I'm down almost 45 pounds. It's slow but consistent and I'm happy with my progress.
