I know of a woman who had the same thing happen and her D levels were dangerously low causing low calcium = brittle bones. Get some bloodwork done ASAP.

Thanks for responding, my calcium level is fine. Since writing this letter, I broke another rib.....bending over to pick a sock up off the floor! I'm sure it is the mechanics of suddenly shoving the excess skin/tissue into my ribs. It's sudden and extremely painful. Plastic surgery consult not helpful. He says insurance will NOT pay for tummy tuck, regardless!!! I'm sick knowing this is my destiny!
OMG, I have been 2 years post op (RNY) Lost 200# and have broken my ribs during sex FIVE times. (I know what you're thinking and no it's not wild, and my hubby's only 170 lbs.) I believe it's caused by the pushing of my abdominal apron into my ribs. We have ruled out Osteoporosis. The X-rays are not showing the fractures, and I have received nothing for pain. I finally talked the Dr. into a bone scan which revealed the current and past fractures. (HOORAY!) Is this enough proof to get help from insurance to have the extra skin removed? Is this a problem shared by anyone else? Oh & if ur tempted to give positional advise, I have also had a recent knee replacement. ;) Thanks.
how are your labs? It is possible that calcium is being leached out of your bones and making them weak and easy to break. Are you supplementing calcium?

One skin has been stretched that much it loses elasticity,even if you are young, and it can't be fixed by working out, sprinkling water, or any topical agents. Appearance through toning and muscle can improve but there is a limit.
i didn't have the procedures that you are looking for, I had a tummy tuck, breast lift, and augment and it was around $18K from a surgeon familiar with bariatric skin.
the cost of not having to tuck my stomach skin into my underwear anymore? PRICELESS!

The only time we fail is when we stop fighting... by you recognizing their is a problem and posting you have proven you are fighting... next step get professional help. It's an issue that has proven itself to be beyond your ability alone to solve. Get into your Dr and tell him/her everything you just shared and more... ask for help. Easier to turn the tide on 40 then 140 ;)
Come back here often and share good & bad days... it's soooo important to have a support system... if you have a local group go. LT suggestion of OA is a great one too. It's a war... build your team of fighters, weapons.
Good vibes, prayers to you.
