Has anyone had surgery to remove excess skin?

I had a panniculectomy, tummy tuck, and arms done. My thighs are hideous and my boobs hang to my waist, but I am done with plastic surgery. The thighs and boobs I will just have to live with. Unless I win the lottery, anyway.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
I sure hope that I have the elastic skin that will snap back. lol I've been obese since a child and I'm quite sure my abdomen would need work for bikini wear, but I don't live near a beach and sun rays can be so dangerous, so I'm not so worried now. I would like to wear tank tops without revealing my "batwings" (lol) when I wave or raise my arm. So,what it really boils dowb too is whether or not there I will have the adverse health effectsof saggy skin. Thanks for the info!
