I am 8 months out from my sleeve! My start weight was 229 and I am now 163!!! I am thinking of thigh lift, breast augmentation, arm lift, and Tummy Tuck. I am wondering if BCBSTN will pay for tummy tuck and/or thigh lift. I didnt know if rash on thighs would help for insurance to pay!

Google weight loss advocates / lawyers. They can help you get the insurance to pay for it & sometimes just the threat of alawywr on side is enough.

Be sure to get your pcp to document any rashes/ irritations or limits on ur daily activities such as want to bike but can't bc I can't bend at the hip due to skin. Sometimes the plastic surgeon will help by taking pics of the pannus hanging below the pubis or any range of motion limitations.

They'll only pay usually for the pannus not a full Tummy Tuck. Though some people have gotten arms covered if they can document range of motion limitations or severe skin problems / fungus.

Good luck!
