What does a tummy tuck or lipo cost? Has anyone have insurance pay for it. I am left with a football size fat deposit above my stomach from the belly button to my left size that is bugging me terribly. It is just a huge bulge. No hernia or muscle displacement, just fat tissue over my large stomach and around the portal. I would need to have insurance cover it - has anyone had any luck getting insurance to pay for any of this?

Hi: Yes, it is well worth it. When I was banded, I started to walk. Then for 4 months I lifted weights 2 days a week. The weight fell off. I am about 4 pounds over my goal. I have had my problems tho, I had acid reflex which never went away so suffer it the band is too tight. I only have 4 1/2 CC in mine. I suffer from slime if I eat too fast or don't chew well. I had a total spinal fusion surgery done in Dec 07 and that has left me not exercising and now I am struggling to keep it off but trying my darndest. Now the rubber hits the road. I started going back to support groups again to see if I can get some help. I have a hard time eating protein (meat) so consequently I am always hungry. I hang in there because I DO NOT WANT TO GAIN ANY WEIGHT BACK. It worked for me but with some struggles. I went from a size 24 to a size 10.

A 2 yr lapband and left with a fat bulge at waist
nkotowicz posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have lost 133# since June 2006 and am in size 8 jean and large tops and am at 28 BMI. At my waist from my belly button to my left side I have a fat bulge. The right side is indented as it should be. The Dr. did a CT SCAN for hernia or muscle displacement and found it is a fat bulge at my waist. Has anyone else experienced this and if so how did you get rid of it. My Dr. referred me to a Dr. for a tummy tuck but insurance doesn't cover it. This uglyness on my left side of my waist is driving me crazy. Everything else went down in proportion. I need to see in anyone else has this problem.
