    Hi there Makenzie - it took me 3 years and 3 weeks. :) Lots of patience and not giving up! I would love it if they saw it that way too.... that's what I've said for a long time. "I'm trying to save you money in the long run!"

    Welcome to my world. I lost over 200 lbs with WW, and when the plastic surgeon tried to get it covered by insurance, they rejected it because I don't have a "functional impairment." Wow. Imagine ... I don't have skin-on-skin issues, fungal or yeasty infections in the folds of my skins because I'm adamant about keeping myself clean. I have primary (systemic) lymphedema, but apparently that isn't reason enough to consider getting rid of excess skin. If I had the money, I wouldn't be trying to go through insurance to try for it. So tired of the BS.... and tired of hauling around 30 extra pounds that's just skin! UGH!
