Medicare.... Ha! I couldn't get them to help with the nursing home expenses when my mom was dying. They wanted to attach her home.

I would be interested in finding out how much something like this costs in the states. I have been considering this option and know my insurance won't cover any of it.

Anyone?

Just wondering to myself after reading your post - is it feasible to consider you might be at your goal when you have the excess skin removed? I wonder how much skin comes off & how much does that skin weigh!?! Are we talking 5-10# of skin? Just curious!

I don't know but..your post made me think of peeling the skin off a chicken thigh and then weighing that. LOL. I was annoyed the other day when I bought a package of thighs and the stupid things had more skin on it than meat. I eat skin. But it was actually gross.

Ever buy duck? Eck..those things are all skin. It's even more gross.
