Thats too bad. How much weight loss we talking?
Forreal maybe weightliftin and building muscle mass can help with the loose skin.

I went from around 380 to 215 and am at 230 now. I was trying to get down to 199 as a somewhat symbolic stopping point and to maximize the effectiveness of skin removal but yeah. I don't think I have the motivation for it now. I don't know. I'm just having fun lifting and seeing real results after finally learning how to do it right, so I guess weight loss doesn't really matter all that much right now.

Im not an expert on this, but Ive heard that dental problems can affect other parts of your body, even your heart. We all know that aesthetics and appearance are important. They boost our self-esteem and change our outlook on life. So I dont mean to minimize the importance of the skin surgery. But you should also prioritize your oral health for your overall well-being. Maybe you can start a go fund me campaign to get some financial assistance. And don't go to Mexico for it , that might not be the safest thing. How about shopping around America. Like people in WV can't pay that much.

Yeah, for sure. It's probably a good thing that it went down this way because I'm on point with diet, exercise, mental health, and everything else. Oral hygiene is my one big glaring failure in self-care. I mean, I brush twice daily and floss every other day but I'm at a point where there's major underlying problems that will need thousands of dollars to address and I just have to get on with it before it gets worse and leads to a stroke or something else serious.

I can probably cover the dental work with my skin removal surgery but after that, yeah, it's going to take gofundme, life insurance policy (no thx), or winning the lottery to do both.
