Hi Camilla! Welcome! I just got back on after years off and had to use the "forgot my password" link to get back on! Please keep us updated on how you are doing! I originally had WLS in 2006 and went from 305 to 180 lbs. Kept it off for more than 5 years but job stress (and loss), and parents health decline and passing caused me to regain about 70 lbs and stretch my pouch so that I was out of control. I'm having revision surgery soon so hopefully I can get back on track and get healthy again!

Wow! Wow! Wow! Great job on the weight loss! I completely understand about the skin! That's been one of my problems as well. Usually, if you can get your dr to say it's a health issue and not a cosmetic issue, insurance will pay for its removal. I say it's worth trying anyway. The worst they can do is say no, right? And some doctors that do the procedure have payment plans that they will work with you on because they know the drag on your mental health that the extra skin causes! Do some research and see if there is one in your area that does it! Or if you're willing to travel, maybe in a big metro area like DFW or Houston.
