Wow!!!! So at 189lbs should I start consultations with plastic surgeons?

I think when you are at a comfortable weight and are happy where you are at, doing a consult won't hurt.. Just don't rush into anything! :-)

My insurance won't even look at pannier removal until weight is lost and stable for two years. Then they may pay for it if medically neccessary.

That makes sense.

I would!!! Usually you can get a free consult. As I was told many ins companies will pay for a Tummy Tuck and usually the surgeon can get it approved for you!

Oh that would be great to get a surgeon to help get it approved for insurance!! Only thing is that I need a Tummy Tuck, legs, arms, and breast done. That is going to be lots of money!!! :-(

Ditto here. Deaddemmama' date=' what do you use? I've developed a pretty irritating rash in the last couple of days...

If this keeps up bcbs should okay me, but I'm not looking forward to suffering from these things for the next year or so. I'd rather just not have them and live with the skin. After all, as my daughter keeps telling me, "you don't have to look good, mom, you are married and... old". Lol[/quote']

Lmbo married & old how dare her.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
