I am a college prof, so have summers off. Usually they suggest three weeks, though.

Blue Cross Blue Shield.

I had it done here in Iowa. Insurance paid for it, so I don't know the total costs. I think it was around 12,000 though.
-
My bariatric surgeon documented my rashes with each appointment and I took pics for six months. I also had back pain noted as well. All of that was sent to my plastics guy and they took their own photos and submitted. The surgery is closer to 12,000 here in Iowa.

HW 356, SW (sleeve) 308. The picture was me at 201. Plastics at 180. I'm now 172 with all of the swelling. I'm 5'5"

No. That one is self-pay. But the big one they covered, and that's what I'm happy with!

I'm a week post body lift/tummy tuck. I am feeling pretty good. The pain was intense for the first few days. I have four drains in and still fill them up with fluid. I expect them to be in for a few weeks at least. The results so far are amazing, though. They took off 15 lbs of skin/fat. All insurance covered. I'll be looking at an arm lift in about 6-8 weeks.
-
What did you pay for your arm lift? I'm in Iowa and trying to estimate. May have it done in July after my body lift and tummy tuck in May.
-
I had things documented via my bariatric surgeon (who transferred all of their docs to my plastic surgeon. They often work together). I had taken pictures of rashes for six months, but did not need them. Plastic surgeon took his own pictures of the skin and that was it. I'm guessing it was in combination of his recommendation and my bariatric surgeon.

Location of pannus, infections, and significant weight loss all combined.

I found out today that my insurance will pay for my lower body lift! I had to call and make sure that what i got was right, but they double checked and yes, it's true! I'm scheduled for May 7th. I'm nervous and excited.
-
I want brachioplasty and maybe a breast lift at some point. My surgeon won't do it at the same time because of the length of time a lift takes. So, that will be a separate surgery.
