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

that was a much easier surgery. Had that done too (no not a surgery addict!) It was well worth it!

I am just starting my journey, though I am already 80lbs lighter than my highest weight. I have a feeling my skin is not going to be good, my thigh area seems a bit loose already. I am not sure weather I'd do a Tummy Tuck or not, but my boobs have pointed down for as long as I can remember and I have always said when I lose weight I'd have them done.

Definitely getting PS. I do plan to do a lot of weight-lifting and programs like P90X (which I start in 4 weeks ) 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.
