Oh poor guy - this article really shows how lucky we are in Ontario

I cannot imagine how hard this must be  - to lose all that weight (from 890 lbs to 334) and not be able to move!

Im hoping a dr will step in free of charge and help him with his excess skin!

Did you actually read it? They cover his skin removal, just require two year of weight stability - a totally normal medical requirement for plastic surgery of this complexity. Do you know that most responsible doctors here also require weight stability?

We, in Ontario, are not covered for full body excess skin removal. The only thing insured is a little pani surgery that removes only a tiny portion of what you have two years postop, IF you find a doctor who would do it and IF OHIP approves. We, people who self pay for extended plastics, are not just idiots, not knowing that we are lucky to live in Ontario and could have gotten it for free. There is no coverage for complex skin removal in Ontario. Duh!

Ouch

By the sound of it he would be at goal if he lost the excess skin. I hope he gets help, he has worked so hard.
