My husband lost 220 lbs after WLS. He's pretty flabby, but not enough for insurance to cover skin removal. He has 40 lbs of skin I'm sure wobbling around his body. He was considered for an "Extreme Makeover" episode, but in the end, one of the surgeons wouldn't do it because he was a smoker, even if he were to quit. We went to a consultation and an estimate was $18,000 to have a tummy tuck, arms, legs, and back done. I know one gal who had the excess skin removed, a boob job, and a face lift. She looks fabulous, and no one could ever guess she was ever in her life overweight. She also looks 10 years younger.
