Insurance Coverage
Redditor RedIntentions wanted to know how hard it was to get insurance to pay for skin removal. Beachislyfe88 and VelvetBrownEyes both commented that it was difficult unless the skin was severe and causing medical issues. VelvetBrownEyes advised documenting skin infections from the extra skin and consulting with a primary doctor who may refer you to a plastic surgeon after 6+ months of treatment.
Moving Forward and Staying Motivated
Reddit user gimmesomeofthatsomma asked VelvetBrownEyes if 180lbs was her goal weight or if she planned to lose more. VelvetBrownEyes replied that she might have to undergo surgery again after losing more weight, but was willing to make the decision and live with it. She hopes to contour her current weight into muscle. Many other redditors left comments congratulating her on her success and encouraging her to keep going.
Conclusion
