I am curious to talk with others about weight loss, and what do you do with all that loose skin when the fat is gone? Can we make stem cells out of it? lol

Your post is a testament to the adage, "Be careful what you wish for." Every medicine we take warns of excessive weight gain or loss... I am never on the latter end, though I always wish I were.
Having to deal with "hanging flesh" when the fat is gone is just one more indignity we suffer with PD. I think we should start a contest asking people for ideas on how best to use this excess skin should we be blocked from harvesting stem cells from it. I'll start:
1. Use it as a blanket and wrap it around ourselves while watching tv.
2.
Humor usually works for me, and I'm answering this way in the hope that it helps you as well. I'm not a doctor, but I know what cures me... get yourself a double chocolate malted made with extra malt!
