I need some advice and information on this. I am 55 years old, not looking to have the body I had as a kid. But I am down 76 pounds so far have 37 to go. when I am done a total of 113 pounds. I carried 80% of my weight in the stomach area. Now am experiencing a very large fold over of skin that really pulls on my side and back. So any information would be great.

My sister in law lost almost 200 pounds as the result of stomach stapling surgery ( not sure what you call that exactly, but surgery to help her lose weight). She had surgery 2 years later to remove sagging skin from her arms, stomach and legs. I know that she had to pay for it out of pocket and it cost her close to 10k dollars. However, she did very well recuperating and it really changed her appearance and the types of clothing she could wear. She now wears a bathing suit, jeans and tops that show off her waist. She did gain some of the weight back, but still looks wonderful and healthy. I know she also went to the gym for weight lifing after she had recovered from the skin removal surgery to further help tone and firm things up.0

I heard that if you continue to get infection in your belly button or is causing back compression, the doctor can get ok's from some insurance companies. I guess it is worth a try.0
