Stomach Skin

I was looking at the before and after pictures of people and noticed that their stomachs look really flat.  Girdle, surgery, snapped back into place????

I would bet on either a girdle or surgery. Many people have plastic surgery after they reach their goal weight (or get close enough to it). I don't think my tummy will look okay in a bikini without having a tummy tuck. Fortunately, my insurance covers it! 

Your insurance covers a tummy tuck, wow, what do you have?

A lot of times, if your insurance covers WLS they will also cover reconstructive type surgeries.... breast lifts, tummy tucks, lower body lifts, whatever the surgery is they do on bat wings (arm skin), etc.

I have Anthem BCBS. Whether the procedure is covered or not depends on if your employer elected to have it covered. Some peoples BCBS plans don't cover WLS at all, whereas others covers 100% with no out of pocket. It all depends on your plan. Call your insurance and ask if they cover any post WLS plastics.

 I look like absolute poo with my clothes off. I don't wear a girdle or spanx. I have looked into surgery, but the cost is way too out there for me (especially with the current economy). I have some pics on my profile of me in a bikini. I've lost much more weight since that photo, so I should do some new extra skin pics. Perhaps I'll do some tomorrow so you can see. 

My body looks "deflated" in the upper arms and legs. My breasts are non-exsistent and resemble two golf balls hanging in wet socks. My stomach looks like an 80 year old's who had about 4 kids. My ass (which I never had in the first place) has a row of wrinkled skin (think english bulldog) that hangs from the buttocks.

But, I look good in clothes, look good in a one piece or a tankini bathing suit and feel maaavelous! In fact, I'm quite the clothes-***** diva now :)

I wouldn't sweat the extra skin. Nobody will know except those you are intimate with - and they love you whether or not you got a lil' extra skin hanging. Men don't understand clothing size or extra skin, they just know 1. woman 2. wanna do her 3. love the woman, don't care about the skin.

I always love t read your post! You crack me up!  Amen to looking damn good with clothes on and well with out... UM let me just say I get dressed in the dark!!  LOL
