Hey All;
I am 3 years post lap-band surgery. I've lost 80-85 pounds to date. I am so close to goal I can almost taste it.
I have a question in regards to plastic surgery and those who have had success with getting their insurance to cover it. My insurance will cover it if it's medically necessary.
I have issues with my knees (already have had 3 knee surgeries) and shoulders, and in my opinion having the extra skin hanging off my arms and thighs isn't helping.
Also, I have a large flap of skin overhang on my lower abdomen.
I've reached a point where I don't think much more weight is going to come off until I get rid of this skin, and gain some more movement.
What are your thoughts - facts, things you have found useful in getting insurance approval?
And where should I start the process - with my Lap-Band doctor, or go to a plastic surgeon for a consult, first?
Thanks!
