This is pretty much what I thought. Elenya's results are lovely -- and her belly is really nice! -- but my last baby was over 13 years ago, and I've already done that level of healing.

Adi, when you say a skin-only surgical solution doesn't cost as much as you'd think.... how much do you suppose it costs???

The only thing I've ever been told that gave me hope was this: What we think of as 'extra skin' is really skin with a layer of subcutaneous fat -- if you pinch the back of your hand you can see how thin skin alone is. So supposedly if you can get rid of enough body fat, you can see improvement. Not with the white tiger stripes, of course, but with the wrinkly-saggy stuff.

*sigh*
