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!

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!

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♥

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
