One of my friends told me that there are doctors who will do a tummy tuck or whatever skin removal surgery that you’d like for free if you do it in agreeance to donate the tissue. Does anyone know anything about this and if so, names PLEASE…after 3 c-sections, well, its not pretty and why not fix what I don’t want and give it to someone who needs it?

I want to donate and yep insurance wont pay. Are there places that will take it off for free or cheaper or do you have to give up an arm and a leg to help someone out.

I had gastric bypass a year and a month ago. I am down almost 140 lbs. I have 30-50 more pounds until I hit my goal weight. With all my excess skin I am worried I am gonna start getting infections and other things. I would love to get this skin taken care of and donate it if at all possible.

I am also looking to free excess skin removal. I to lost almost two hundred pounds and have repeated after repeated infection and need this skin off. They can do whatever they want with me make good use of it for others but if they can get it off me would be great.
