Excess skin related injury...

That extra skin is DANGEROUS y'all.

I was doing Zumba. The 20 minute beginners class. There's this part where you wave your arms in the air and I swear to goodness I wasn't paying attention and...I whacked myself upside the head with my batwing!

No, this is not a joke (quit laughing!). I actually did this.

So I'm going to pass a jar around. Kindly drop in a quarter toward the "Clip Nik's Wings" fund.

Friends don't let friends have batwings.

That is all!

How much does a surgery like that cost?

I feel your pain. I am only 7 weeks out but I lost 87 lbs pre op and about another 40 post op and the sings are horrible...I just don't know what I am gonna do as I lose more and more...I want my legs, arms stomach and boobs all done but I know it will never ever happen unless I meet a rich guy to pay for it..lol Good luck to you.

You'd be suprised what your insurance will pay for if your doctor considers it "medically necessary" I get rashes under my tummy above my V area. I've had it documented several times and from what I've read, my insurance will pay for a panni removal. While I'm under I'm going to get my boobs and an upper body lift. I have back fat excess skin that is only going to get worse the closer I get to my goal weight.

I have the back fat excess skin too but I don't anticipate that I will get it paid for by my insurance. I know my insurance will pay for any surgery that is deemed medically necessary but I haven't had any problems just yet. Are they gonna pay for all of it since you are getting it all done at the same time?
My back fat pinches when I turn over in bed at night..lol Maybe I can complain that it hurts because it does. It gets bruised and sore a lot..Maybe that will help me..I hope I can manage this and get it all done at the same time.

P.S. I have a nephew who had the surgery with your surgeon back in August...He said he was awesome.

The Plastics Dr. I saw quoted me $8,000.00 for the Batwings. My insurance will not pay for ANY Plastics. They took the time to actually write that in my RNY Approval Letter.

Must be the area you live in b/c my LBL & Brachio only cost me just over 12k. I think a lot of people pay aroun 2-5k depending on where they live for just the arms.

$8-10K from surgeons I've listened to. Of course, I'd avoid the cheap one, and go with a board certified plastic surgeon who has experience with wt loss pateints. DAVE

Good Lord, can I identify with this or what. When I'm rock'n my Insanity workout the belly skin is roll'n from side to side. One day it may swing so hard it pulls me over.

I did zumba once. Knocked my glasses off with my batwings. Another time I was doing some yoga and knocked my glasses off my face with my ........Panni!!!

Therefore the Panni and more is coming off in 34 days.
