Georgia 2,908 Posted April 4, 2013 I'll be honest, Girls, I get EXTREMELY jealous when I read these! lol I really don't have a big "apron" but I do have the results of 2 C-Sections, a Hysterectomy, and losing 100 lbs AND being 59! lol I really, really, really want a TT but it's not in the cards right now. Very happy for both of you, though! Really!!!!!! 2 coops and Ms.AntiBand reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very happy for both of you, though! Really!!!!!! Thanks NannyG! My apron was just horrid... It was well below my knicker line, my skin had just had it! Lumpy and bumpy so bad that control pants didn't hide it at all! When I exercised it jiggled (even with Lycra on) to such a degree that it pulled my back... The only thing that wouldn't affect it was walking! So, it had to go... Just want this stage of recovery to be over with! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FoxyRoxy 35 Posted April 4, 2013 How did u get it covered did u need any documentation of rashes etc. Yolo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebthompson2010 126 Posted April 4, 2013 I also have BcbsTx. Can u tell me what were the stipulations? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susmcmur 124 Posted April 4, 2013 I'm BCBS Federal Basic and I'm 95% to my surgeon's goal at 11 mos. post op. I believe a panni or TT is in my future and I'm curious too about how much documentation was required to get authorization. I'll be a little over 100# lost, at goal and had 3 c-sections. Lots of flap, lots of skin. Good luck--you'll come through this like the champ you are! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lisa74 39 Posted April 6, 2013 I am not sure what stipulations are. I dont think I have any. I did have a rash and was put on a steroid cream. My panni hangs low but not completely over my lady area. I went in and complained about irritation and when i do Zumba it hurts to run or jump. I have lost 154 total but 110 since sleeve in August. Leaving me with skin hanging on tummy arms and thighs. I am 39 pounds to goal. I have more to lose. But my skin enable s me to exercise the way I could. Doc says this could help with encouragement and be more motivation to lose the rest of my weight. The doctor took pictures and wrote up a letter for insurance. Three weeks later got sn approval! I believe it depends on what type of coverage you company that you have insurance through depends on what is covered. I may be wrong..I have bcbstx ppo. Good luck friends. I will post before and after pics for you to see! Thanks for the motivating comments♥ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lisa74 39 Posted April 6, 2013 Oh and in was told I had 2 pounds of skin on tummy and 15 total pounds on body so that was a misunderstanding so as of now after two pounds of skin on my tummy I still have 38 pounds to lose till goal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
