I'm originally from Monroe, Ga near conyers. I live in charleston, sc now and am in process of getting my surgery. My whole family is in ga and I haven't found anyone here in sc. So it would be nice to chat with a few of you.

Dr is sending me to a dietician to put me on a diet before if God willing they approve my surgery and my husband doesn't get laid off. Anyways has anyone lost 20+ lbs being on their diet? Also, my biggest fear is getting denied surgery or my husband getting laid off and losing our insurance. Did yall find the whole process beneficial and rewarding in helping your weight loss goals?

Does anyone's insurance pay for a tummy tuck. I think the 2 areas that will concern me the most are my upper thighs and my stomach due to rashes and chafing. My boobs don't worry me too much bc hell just put a bra on. But thanks for all the advice!

Does anyone have any reviews on either place?? -
I work in hospice and my cure all is mix some miralax and Gatorade and go for it! Stool softener is a must if you've been severely constipated! It will keep you making ur butt hole bleed.

MUSC/Medical University of South Carolina

Has anyone ever had their surgery with them? And if so, good or bad results? I could have my surgery in a shorter time with them. But the place I'm at now says they see a lot of their patients due to bad surgery techniques. -
Great West Insurance thru Cigna PPO
AllisonK1986 replied to AllisonK1986's topic in Insurance & Financing
Thanks daisee! I have arthritis and sjogrens since I was 15 and pcos so I have documentation from many Drs regarding my morbid obesity. I don't have a specific letter, but my pcp sent over the last 3 years of my medical records and I will get Obgyn and rheumatologist to do as well. My first appt with the dr is on July 2. So I'm hoping everything goes smoothly and these 3 months fly by. I'm also praying my copay isn't too high. Bc anything more than 2k I can't do the surgery since I'm already in debt ????. -
