over the last 3 years, i dropped about 100 pounds - didn't need surgery for it, my body gave itself a hiatal hernia (which no one diagnosed) so for about a year I wasn't hungry and when i ate it didn't take much. it was great I dropped a lot of weight BUT i wasn't eating good - took about a year to learn how to eat when you only eat a little. You have to get the right mix of nutrients. as to OP, I had a little bit of sagged skin - I massaged the area daily - not sure if it helped limit the amount of sag? but hey. We played with a few couples, where the woman had lost weight with excess skin - which doesn't bother me at all but they had said others walked because of it. I had an unrelated surgery after I lost 50 pounds and my post op orders required me to walk every day - after I started doing that - coupled with the lite eating that dropped the rest of the weight, as well as my a1c - also helps tone your core muscles which will also help tighten up some skin. In the end, however, it's how she feels, and what she wants. Sucks that insurance doesn't cover it though - youd think going through all that to lose the weight which will cost them less in the end if you stick with it that they would want to have you mentally good.
