Hello,
I am just wondering how much weight you lost as a result of removing the skin? I figure out that my goal weight is about 140 pounds but that I will have loose skin. It's got to weigh something, right? So if ultimate goal weight is 140, then my weight loss goal weight should be.....?

o_O Is talking about their existence and usage against the ToS? I thought it was just posting links and asking for money that was against the ToS.

It is worth a try. Have lots of pictures, documentation of doctor visits and medicines prescribed.

Sadly, clinic advisor sent me to a shady place and after facelift I got some problems with my skin. IDK why it happened, but now there are red spots around my mouth.
Both doctor and advisor are ingoring me, I tried everything to heal them by myself but nothing worked. Have smbdy had this problem, how can I fix this???? Also, advisor is Melinda Anna in Colorado.
i have a question about insurance-i have both medicare & medicaid and am having alot loose skin, rashes, skin breakdown. i was told that medicare will cover plastic surgery if it is medically necessary. has anyone else had this type of insurance and will they cover plastic surgery? just wondering. thanks

Yes, but those are usually people who have kept an ongoing blog and have lots of followers. I do not know of any random people (like this person) who get money this way.
Also some plastic surgeons do it pro-bono if they know the person blogs and will be posting before/after pictures.

"May your choices reflect your hopes and not your fears."
One suggestion I've heard a few times is to go see a plastic surgeon once you get near to your goal, and ask them when they would recommend doing it. As I understand it, the timing of the surgery might depend on the type of procedure the surgeon will perform, which in turn depends on the shape of your body and how the loose skin is positioned.
There's actually a pretty significant number of them who have raised a lot of money on Instagram for their surgeries and had them in Mexico. I can think of three off the top of my head that have had the whole shebang worth of procedures on someone else's dime.
I personally think that most GoFundMe's are a load of crap and I hate the trend towards creating one for everything and therefore diluting the situations where someone may actually require one (ie: the death of a close family member, or a house fire).
