You might appeal to your insurance company. If you've lost a significant amout of weight, and can prove that you've had a positive effect on your health (which decreases their liability to you), AND if you can have a doctor vouch that the extra skin you carry caused by your fantastic weight loss may cause complications, you may be able to get your insurance to cover part, or all of it.
I would try visiting your doctor to see what can be done to promote an insurance company to help cover the cost of this surgery. The big thing is convincing the insurance company that it's a necessary procedure, rather than an elective procedure. For example, I know that insurance will cover a breast reduction, as long as there is a medical reason connected with it.
Good luck, and congratulations on your weight loss!

Get liposculpture surgery in India.Cosmetic Surgery is very cheap in India.There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges cosmetic surgery for foreigners in India.They are called the Forerunners Healthcare.I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories.
I have also read that they arrange financing for american and canadian patients as cosmetic surgery is not covered by insurance or by NHS in UK.They also have photos pasted of their International patients.You can checkout their website.The cost savings are incredible.
As a doctor i personally believe that your cosmetic surgery can be easily handled in India as the quality of healthcare available here is simply best in the world.The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.If you still havent got your surgery done,you are better off getting it done in India.
my cousin got her breast reduction/liposculpture/buttoc... lift surgery in India after massive weight loss due to gastric bypass surgery through the forerunners healthcare.she is more than very happy with the results.she just paid 30% of the amount she was quoted in USA and is all praise fore this forerunners healthcare company.i personally have seen the wondeful results and am particularly impressed with the kind of quality care she got from this company

If you're talking about surgery for excess skin on your abdomen (redundant panniculus) or thighs, a lot of insurance plans will cover that due to health issues. Hanging, sagging skin will stay moist and cause itchy rashes and could harbor bacteria and cause skin infections.

I don't think you can get plastic surgery for free. If you find one tell me.
