I lost 170lb, Are there any alternatives to massive surgery to remove excess arm and inner thigh skin? photo)

freebutterfly
I was 300lb back in 2000, Sz 26 & I'm down to 130 Sz 4. Is there anything less $$ than major surgery? I so much wanted to get thin & be healthy. I did not expect the excess skin with the exercising I did. I am embarrassed to be out in short sleeves, shorts, or swim wear. Do those wraps work? I know i don't need lipo because there is no fat there? What is cool sculpting.. HELP?! My insurance looks at it as cosmetic unless you know a reason it may be covered. Mental Stability? :)
