Extreme weight loss skin reduction

Posted , 5 users are following.

I am in the process of an extreme weight loss.   After only 50 lbs off I can see that I will need to get serious about a skin reduction...  I'm turning into the Michelin Man on a hot day!!! "wink  At this point I just want to get other peoples experiences/info on the subject.  I've heard that its cheaper to go to a foreign country for that kind of procedure but is it as safe?

    Firstly well done for losing the weight! 

    When you have finished your target weight and are happy with your size it may be worth going to see your GP.  They could request funding from the local CCG.  Failing that it would have to be done in the private sector.  If you do opt to go to a foreign country please do research it first.  So many people go away to have surgery due to the cost but there are some risks that you would be taking.
