wow! from the pic, i couldnt even tell that you had pretty big surgery! gosh, that must of given you a huge boost of confidence? you dont look like you could be old enough to be anyones Grandma!!
Over here in New Zealand, some hospitals have a funded GB programme. The trouble with that is that they dont look after the after effects of gb surgery,which really affects alot of peoples confidence etc and means alot of them will gain weight back to try and fill the loose skin that really hangs. Im lucky that mine was never that bad, bad enough, but not an apron as such more like a very loose tummy and a bit of skin around my knees and my boobs! omg, they were horrid, but not depressing (make sense? lol). Most people over here dont have health insurance as we have a very very good public health system, so they cant afford to get a TT or nip n tuck stuff.
Well, you look great and should not feel like you cant flaunt it. Good on you!

thanks very much
yea i had 8 pounds of skin removed and insurance did not pay a penny 
i just happened to be lucky enough that we could pay out of pocket for it. i think EVERYONE should be able to fix the skin issues after such amazing weight losses....it should be included in the RNY as far as i am concerned but what do i know!! anyways thanks sooooo much for the comments
much love
mary
