I am willing to do almost anything to have a doctor "put me together" the way God intended me to be. I have so much extra skin its crazy. I just want to know how it feels to not have my belly skin hang down on my legs. I lost this weight on my own.. no diet pills, surgery, I DID IT!!!!! I in no way can pay for it.

Paying for surgery after weight loss

Weight loss then surgery

I think you would be a great candidate for surgery to remove your excess skin. The pictures don't show it specifically, but if you've lost 200# then it is there. Congrats! That is a great accomplishment. Care Credit would be a great avenue to try and secure financing. Best of Luck!
