Despite all of the above, weight loss in large amounts can still inevitably lead to loose and saggy skin in the arms, thighs, and abdominal area etc. The only way to get rid of this effectively is cosmetic surgery.

It is wise to do more than one evaluation/consultation with a qualified cosmetic/plastic surgeon. Explore what your options are. Get a good feel for what will and can be done. Make a connection with the surgeon.
Most insurances will not cover the cost for skin removal procedures, but some do.
It will require a team that will work with you in documenting the need of skin removal. Your primary doctor can document ongoing skin irritation and infections from loose skin. Also, for sagging breast, documenting back pain, shoulder and neck pain is important. Some cosmetic surgeons will work with you to get loose skin after weight loss surgery covered. So do your research.
