You sound like you were built like me...but about 15 years younger. I was about 230-235 preop and had small legs and arms but a big waist. I also have had children which stretches that belly skin out too. I had an anchor TT at the beginning of December. Your skin is more an issue of genetics, how long you've been overweight/how long your skin has been stretched out, if you smoke, etc. No one can really predict how much skin you will have.

As for the rashes...many times it's yeast infections under the panni. Many insurances will pay for it's removal. Not sure about medicaid.

Good luck on your weight loss. Remember to concentrate on that first. Plastics can then follow.

Everyone is different so here's what you do... plan on having extra skin.  Start a savings account right now.  Put $20.00 per pay into it.  Then when it comes time, see what you have and where you'd like to start (if anything).  Maybe you'll get lucky and be able to spend the money on something nice for yourself.  Maybe that something nice will be new tummy, arms or butt.  Either way, you will at least have a start.
