Guest guest Posted March 12, 2003 Report Share Posted March 12, 2003 Yep, same thing here. In my case, my insurance didn't even pay for wls, so I had to pay for it myself. I am still trying to recover financially from that, so any skin removal is just going to have to wait. I too am most concerned about my thighs. From knees down is okay, but when I stand up everything falls and there are ripples of skin all the way down and a " roof " over both of my knees. I'm really dreading the summer weather coming up since I know I won't dare wear a pair of shorts. I have a little extra skin on my tummy, but the bobbies look like hanging bananas, and I hate the fact that I look 10 years older than I am in the face because of the wrinkly skin on my face and neck. I just keep trying to remind myself I did this to be healthier - and I accomplished that. It's just hard to hear about everyone having plastics done and know that I may or may not ever be able to have anything done.
