I went from 353lbs to 172lbs nearly a decade ago. I had a few lipomas then and ignored it because what was I going to do about it? I certainly couldn't afford surgery at the time for skin removal so I didn't even plan on dealing with that. They were no big at all like 1/5 a marble at most.
Now fastforward areas of loose skin are filled with lipomas - again they aren't big. 1/10 a marble[mostly] -> 1/2 size a marble but we are talking several hundred of them. I am much less comfortable with weight completely off then on because my loose skin is basically like a bag of marbles otherwise and I will never have the appearance of just loose skin since the lipomas will mostly just make it look like fat.
I am at 235 now and actually have a surprising amount of muscle - I look visibly "buffish" at least with my clothes on on so I am at least thankful that they do not show and I was able to change my body shape enough. Weight lifting is my method for keeping weight off and at least appearing normalish. Little things like wearing a gym belt or even a tight underwear band on stomach [which we all know why we do that] is pretty discomforting due to it going across the loose skin stomach combined with lipomas. Gym excercises have become increasingly discomforting like laying flat on bench and bending over.
Insurance seems to frown on any attempts of skin removal and lipoma surgery though my case seems to be some weird case that I am wondering if I can somehow make the attempt. Anyone ever hear of any stories like what happened to me and/or have any ideas of how to have insurance step in? I have no family history of lipomas or anything. I have an upcomming dermatologist appointment and just looking for any ideas.
