Can I Get Help? 400 to 200 Pounds. What Can I Do With My Extra Skin? (photo)

I am 44 years old 2 kids both c sections. my highest weight was way over 400 pounds. I have lost 200 or so... 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. I will be a billboard for a dr. who will help me.....

Weight loss then surgery

Massive Weight Loss and Body Contouring

I have performed many of these massive weight loss procedures and have combined several procedures at once in appropriate patients. Carecredit is a good way to go. Once you are ready, find the surgeon with the BEST credentials who can deliver the results.
