What are the reasons they will cover the stomach? I'm getting surgery in July ( I pray ) and I know my tummy will sag. Is there a medical reason for the surgery?

Hi,

After having my vertical sleeve I lost 65 it left me with excess skin on my tummy and legs. Which is causing irritation and infections. In some instances insurance will cover removal. Unfortunately my thighs are my problem which is considered cosmetic even though there is chaffing

I have the lap band and lost 215lbs. My insurance company did pay for my Tummy Tuck. My surgeon took pictures of my extra skin. They removed 9lbs of skin. Now I just need my arms and legs done. Lol

Hi,

I am looking toward any procedure that will help, my tone is good and by lifting my skin myself it takes care of the problem. My is that argument is that my leg condition is affects my ability to be intimate. In a world where Viagra, any other aids are available for men's sexual issues is covered, why is it that with this issue patients due to excess skin is labeled as cosmetic. I also found out that I have a bulging disk, which is now affected due the change in my gate when I am chaffed. I encourage all of you facing these issues to challenge your insurance companies get documentation by anyone you can. Perhaps we can become a voice for change. I wish we could band together to get help, maybe one day.

      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...

        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.
