thebionicbroad 127 Posted February 19, 2012 Between an old-school appendectomy, two C-sections, an open hysterectomy, and many years of porkiness, I've always had a significant "apron." I've lost quite a bit of it, but here's my question. When I turn the wrong way, I get a sharp twinge on the right side of scar. Could I be herniating? I don't see the doc again until March 15th. Also, if I am herniating, how much of a chance do you think that I might have of convincing Kaiser to do a Tummy Tuck? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bedhead 158 Posted February 19, 2012 Most likely you have adhesions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted February 19, 2012 Bionic Broad: Yes they will for a fee. I inquired and was told yes. I'm thinking that it would be cheaper than out side place. If you find out, will you let me know, I want to do something with my raisin of a tummy .....LOL I'm only 4 months out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SHC 6 Posted February 20, 2012 Kaiser may do it for free or a small fee. One of my co-worker just had it done thru kasier. If the excess skin is causing rashes or any other skin problems and you maintain your weight loss for 1yr or longer they'll cover it, and may depends on what type of coverage you have...good luck!

BenisaMartim4 369 Posted February 20, 2012 I have Anthem BCBS and they will pay for a Tummy Tuck if: you are 18 months out of surgery and get rashes. They must be photo documented though, so I started taking pics as soon as my VSG was submitted. I didn't want to fight over it like I had to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
