Congrats! I'm only two months out, so I'm nowhere near ready to start thinking about the skin surgery. But I will eventually want to get it done. Most of my weight is on my stomach (typical man, I guess) so I'm hoping that most of my weight loss will be there as well. I will need a peniculectomy (sp?) as my stomach hangs way down, so there is 0% chance of my skin "snapping back" like it does on some of the younger folks (I'm 54 and don't suspect that there's much collagen left in my skin these days).
At any rate, congrats on getting approved for your insurance to cover it!
