Does insurance pay for the skin removal?

HEy, insurance really doesnt, it is actually becoming harder and harder and even more impossible for insurance to cover it. I mean it literally has to be like life threatening. This means that the rash has to be getting infected and you have to have like 6 months of documentation that you have tried many different things to help it. I have done a ton of research and talking to doctors both pastic surgeons, general physicians, dermotologists, and even the group of doctors that did my lap band. It is soo very hard.

I dont think a TT will affect you having kids. You can always get it tightened up later if you need to for cosmetic reasons. :) I hemmed and hawed about surgery all year but now I am at the same place you are---I feel like I need to get rid of this pannus, almost like its a foreign growth on my body. Hopefully, I can get insurance to cover it. If not, maybe your parents can adopt me. ha ha :) Good luck, Meagan and keep us posted! You are adorable!

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      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!
