Hey Risa.. I wrote the previous comment about you being inspiring :) You're a sweetheart. Quick questions - after looking at some of vids about excess skin (btw I teared up a bit when you got emotional) Is the skin removal surgery you're talking about the same as a 'body lift?' Very early stages for me but I may need this type of surgery when I reach my goals.. but as of now shapewear seems to help me.. do you wear any shapewear? I recently ordered some from 'hold me tight' - heres to hoping!
