My mother was about 250lbs before she dropped to around 170. After 5 kids this had left her with sagging skin. Her insurence paid for the tummy tuck because it was giving her painful and sometimes bleeding rashes. I am 27 and I am 350lbs. I do have one child. If I were to lose a lot of weight I know I will have the same saggy skin. I do have OHP and was wondering if it has been covered in my mothers type of case with insurences like OHP or OHP itself.
