Really, that's all? I was thinking like $25,000 or more. I'm not sure where I got that figure from...probably something I dreamed up.

I'm DISGUSTED and sick of my belly skin already. I carried a lot of weight in my stomach, and it's really the only place where the skin is truly bothering me. (My arms are a little flabby, along with my inner thighs, but they're not too bad.) But this stomach skin is horrible to look at, and I can't successfully hide it under my clothes.

In the past (pre WLS) I had problems with getting rashes under my pannus in the hot summer months. If that happens this summer, I'll be sure to go to the doc and get it documented.

edit: Deb, what is a "mini" tummy tuck?
