anyone working on skin removal?

I had my surgery June of 08, so I am just about 7 months out. I am about 6-10 pounds away from goal weight. I want to start looking into getting skin removal done. Is any one else here with their surgery date in June 08 getting thiers done already?

I think it's a bit too soon to be looking into skin removal.
I heard the standard is 18-24 months out until your weight has leveled out completely. I would definitely discuss it with your surgeon.

THanks! From what I understand my inusrance will only cover "reconstructive surgery" Dec. 31 on the year following the initial surgery. So that means I dont have 18-24 months! Dec. would put me exactly at 18 months and if anything were to go wrong or I needed extra they wouldnt pay for it. So I am in a bind as too when to get it all done!

I see. I don't think it would hurt since you are so close to goal. I am down 116 so far and 20 from goal. But my ins doesn't cover so I'm waiting to see how much will pop back on it's own. I'm giving it 2 years and then snip snip. But if my ins were paying for it.....then yeah...I'd do it now.

wow... you look amazing Kimberlin.  Did you call your surgeon or doctors and ask.
