Skin Donation?

I thought at some time I saw a post here about skin donation at the U of M, or I thought it was the U of M anyway.  If anyone has any info on this please let me know.  I'm intereted and I'm sure others would like the info also.  Thanks for your time

If you're talking about maybe donating the excess skin left over after massive weight loss, good luck with that.  The skin we've stretched out over our obese bodies is NOT in good shape for donating  -  too crepe-y, stretch marks, not good solid stuff.  If it were, EVERY WLS person would be getting free tummy tucks!

You just stomped my dreams into dust.  Now why wouldn't someone want my lovely wrippled, stretch-marked skin?

I'm so sorry....  I hope my first reply didn't come across sour, but I had that thought years ago, and someone gave me a reality check.  Back when I was reading Richard Simmons' website religiously, this topic was brought up.  He, and several others I've read since, opened my eyes to the reality of the situation.   Our skin is simply not healthy enough to serve that purpose - even for a burn victim or God knows what.  We've already worked it silly, just holding our big ol' selves in! Now if someone wants to post a recipe for an evil rash-inducing concoction, I'm all ears!!  And saggy skin...

i have NO idea if this is legitimate, but there is a link here for donating skin after weight loss http://mtf.org/donor/donor.html
