Hey Butch! Welcome to LBT!!!

Wow, what great success you have had so far! And it IS neat to see someone banded a good while. Vinesqueen's DH started our at 600 too. She'll post soon, I'm sure.

The surgery you are talking about I think is called a Paniculectomy-oh please check the spelling-I just know it's wrong. I'll see if I can post some links to other threads. Insurance will generally pay for this since it's "medically necessary" and NOT cosmetic. That apron is par for the course with weight loss, and you will feel SOOO much better to have it off! Your back pain will improve, no doubt!

Leeme see...check these links...

That should get you started. Happy researching!!! So glad you are here!
