I had my first consult with a surgeon about it while I continue to lose weight and he said that I likely won't get dental clearance for elective surgery. My teeth are SUPER fucked up and I likely have whatever infection a person can get because I haven't been to a dentist since 2001.
So that kind of took the wind out of my sails because I don't have enough money to get my teeth taken care of and this surgery. I'm doing it all out of pocket and busted my ass for months scraping together enough to get the skin removal surgery.
I could chance it and go to Mexico but I'd rather not because I wouldn't be able to have family with me there to help with recovery.
Unless I win the lottery, that's the end of that plan for the time being. I really need to get my teeth taken care of anyway, so oh well.
On the bright side, I've gotten really into weight lifting and am doing some really nice recomp that I'm happy about. I'll always hate this loose skin but it's making me hate my body overall a little less.
Thats too bad. How much weight loss we talking?
Forreal maybe weightliftin and building muscle mass can help with the loose skin.
