I Have MVP insurance, and was wondering if anyone has had experience with getting skin removal with MVP possibly paying for the insurance. I have chronic infection in my belly button and could use to get lower abdominal skin removal. I am going on 2 years post op.. Any advise in how to proceed is appreciated.

HI there I don't have that insurance hopefully someone with pipe in with info, but what I have learned is that a) MVP probably offers multiple varieties of insurance so what worked for someone may not work for you.

B) Those who got their TT's approved by insurance often called up their providers and asked for the criteria for qualifying for that procedure. After that, they worked with their doctors to document the conditions and meet the specific requirements their insurance needed to qualify. Maybe that will work for you?

If you go to your insurance company website, you should be able to look up your benefits and coverage. The coverage provided by my employer clearly states no coverage for plastic surgery except in the case of breast cancer and reconstructive surgery.

Good luck and I hope you can get insurance coverage for any procedures.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
