Fun with extra skin
Giggity! 
Yes, i've had fun with my floating skin! When I was in Switzerland, my host and hostess had a spa. Say, did I mention what an incredibly hunky piece of male the guy was?? I MEAN SERIOUSLY WOW. kept my cool. dum de dum de dum.
they were gone and I went out into the spa in the dark of night, stark raving naked, under the full moon (ha ha, the one in the sky too). My boobies floated!! looked like I had upright girls!!
when i sit in my tub at home, my skin kinda puddles around my hiney down on the bottom of the tub.
but i hafta say, for losing almost 140 lbs, it's not as bad as i thought it would be. i'll take it, thankyouverymuch

Ah, yes, the ass/hip skin puddle. Really bugs me when I lay in bed and it sort of pools around me. Equally attractive in the tub when it floats. I really only look good when upright and dressed! Just thankful mine is quite easily hidden.

I have my fair amount of droopy skin. Would I trade it for the 140+ pounds I've lost and the health I've gained, not in a million, thanks.
That being said - should I win the lottery would I have all my problem areas plasticked as soon as I could do it, yes! I do have a lot of arm flap, back/side (about where my bra sits) skin, thighs are a mess, and wouldn't say no to a mons lift either. But other than that I'm all good :) All of those things can be taken care of with plastics, if I'm so inclined AND have the money.
Right now I am waiting to hear on insurance approval for my panniculectomy. My pannus is my biggest (pun intedned) problem area. AND I ******G HATE IT (and I always have). Always has been - I have always carried MOST of my weight in the tummy area - so that means it is the saggiest. And it truly does hinder exercise and have skin rashes and what not. So I hope to have it removed with my hernia repair after the 1st of the year...swing some critters on the approval for that! I would also LOVE to have a tummy tuck - but not having had my kids yet, that's a no go until they are born. So I guess I have a few years to save (ha, ha) up for that!!

This is me, too - not even thinking about plastics because I haven't had any kids yet and am hoping for 2 in the future. My panni is very big, too. If I face a mirror naked, you can't see to tell what gender I am! It doesn't help that I have a vertical incision scar going from my belly button down to my crotch from the removal of a 10-inch ovarian cyst when I was 16 (surgeon told me even back then that once it was healed, even if I lost weight, that part wouldn't shrink because scar tissue doesn't shrink). I've been fortunate enough to not have rashes or skin irritations, but that just mens removal won't be deemed "medically necessary" =[
I feel ya, I do!!
As for the medically necessary - do you have lower back pain, trouble working out/walking? Start getting those things documented NOW and you might be able to get it approved. In addition to the skin issues I had my Chiro submit his records and write a letter stating why a panniculectomy would help resolve my lower back issues and make exercise easier.
And skin issues - start documenting ANY time you have ANTYHING odd going on.
