I am two years out as of 1/11/18. I went through the process to be approved for a panniculectomy here in NY and BCBS denied me saying it is not medically necessary. I have rashes, smell and itching most of the time. It's embarrassing to be intimate with my husband and we've been together 35+ years. I'm depressed over this. Any advice on getting it approved? The surgeon I went to at Harlem Hospital was, in my opinion, very disinterested in doing my surgery. He did not send in photos or description of my issues. Any reference to a bariatric plastic surgeon would also be appreciated.
