    Thanks @deisebayer :smiley:

    Just a little update: Some weeks ago i got the approval of my thigh-reconstruction. Atm i am doing the medical examinations you have to do before the surgery. They have to check for varicose veins before they can do it. Next and probably last one is tomorrow. After that i will fix the date for the surgery in January - of cause only if they dont find any bad veins.

    I hope it all goes well for you and a successful surgery achieved in January.

    Wow -- "congrats", "great job", "way to go" -- I sincerely mean all of these things, but the words hardly seem adequate. Your story and determination have, and will continue, to inspire many.

    Such an awesome job. My hat is off to you. It is also great that you got insurance to pay for some of the skin removal cost. I looked into it at one time and it was way out of my price range. While I still have a way to go I hope to be at my goal weight soon.

    By the way how old are you? You look young.

    Thank you @all

    @Udail51 If you got an health insurance you can ask if the do something like that too. In germany it depends if it's "medical neccessary" because it's equivalent to an illness. In my case i.e. the thighs are a risk for wounds, because they rub against each other and stop me from doing some kind of movements.

    I will be 32 on tuesday. Good luck for your "last steps" towards your goal weight!
