Where DOES all the excess skin go???

If you have ever wondered what happens to all that loose skin after you lose a bunch of weight, well- I left mine in Mexico! This video is not one of the usual Fed Up Female vids, it was created for my friends at the CosMed clinic- the folks who picked up all my extraneous epidermis after I lost 147 lbs.

For more information on the facility, their services and their doctors, please go to www.CosMedClinic.com.
