I have a neice who is a doctor and she said when she did her surgical rotation that they did a surgery on a woman who had lost tons of weight from wls. Anyways, she was saying that they removed skin from all over her body because she had taken up jogging after her wls and the excess skin was causing her problems with friction and a skin condition. I didn't ask too many questions because too many other people were around but I got the impression the surgeries were paid for because they were considered medically necessary. Just something to think about?
