Congratulations first of all on parting with 60-70 lbs!

It really depends how bad it is, how long you've been at your current weight, how much you exercise, etc.

I don't know what you consider a gross amount of extra skin- it would be hard for anyone to give you an educated guess without physically examining you.

But my understanding is that the excess skin from losing 60-70 pounds will not disappear with exercise alone, and if it bothers you- all the more reason to consult with a plastic surgeon. They really would be the ones who could make that judgment better than any other doctor.

Most plastic surgeons though, would want your weight to stabilize before doing a procedure like that- if you see one, s(he) will probably tell you that. Your happiness with your current weight and your future plans with methadone and opiates in general would be more determining factors.

Really can't hurt to have the consultation, let us know what happens either way.
