I'd like to here from anyone who had their skin removed.

Hi, I am 11 months post-op and have lost 197lbs, I started out at 412lbs, and my goal weight is 150lbs (I'm 5'7"). So I still have 65lbs to go before I reach my goal, but what I'm wondering is how close to your goal weight do you have to be before you can have the skin removed? Do you have to have all the fat gone or can they cut fat off along with skin, because my belly and arms have ALOT of extra skin but the skin that is hanging has some fat in it to and the exercise doesnt seem to be affecting the fat thats hanging in the skin. People keep telling me that I cant stand to lose 65 more pounds because I'm so big boned and maybe their right because if it wasnt for the hanging skin and fat I would probably be a size 12, which is my goal, I'm a size 16 now. So if anybody out there has had their skin removed please e-mail me at [email protected], any information you can offer would be much appreciated. Thanx -Joy-
