Reasons For Medically Necessary Tummy Tuck



Recommended Posts

I'd really like to have a tummy tuck- however, i am not rich and I don't know if I could afford the procedure. yesterday I had a consult- my insurance will cover if I can constitute a medical reason. I have been told that if I have rashes I can provide that to my insurance company.Can anyone give me some examples of medical reasons they have been able to document?

shoe... i went on the 13th for a consult and was told my TT will cost $8800. sad.png my husband is giving me $3000 of some of his inheritance money, so i'm charging the rest..... If i put it on my discover card, my payment would be less then $200 a month... i can handle that.

My PS does not take any insurance.... sad.png i lost 80lbs and i refuse to be embarrassed to got to the beach because of my stomach ...... NO MORE!!! viva..la flat tummy..!!!

My insurance covered my TT because of rash and the potential of fungus growing. My doctors office did all the paper work. They know how to word everything, I think they said something about an oder and sweating

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
