  • Posted to Lost 140lb with Gastric Bypass. Need Help with Excess Skin on 23 Apr 2012

    Thanks HVA, I will keep looking but I don't have any insurance outside of Medicare. There is a medical reason for the skin removal. The weight of the extra skin is worst on my MCTD. It causes sever pain in my neck & shoulder, I already have the rashes & breakout under the over hangs. Thanks for the encouragement. By the way, i'm down by 93lbs now...

    I am disabled and was on steroid treatments for 5years to treat MCTD. I am 35yrs old and have been weened off the steroid but not before gaining 100lbs. Since August 2011, I have lost 80lbs and feel better, but the sagging, extra skin is causing rashes and pain from the hanging. I also feel like I am in an 80yr old body. I did not have any surgery to loss the weight... I did it naturally. Being on disability, I can't afford to have the skin removed, even though it is causing me health problems. If there is any one out there that know anyway I can get the treatment I need, please let me know...
