I'm a week post body lift/tummy tuck. I am feeling pretty good. The pain was intense for the first few days. I have four drains in and still fill them up with Fluid. I expect them to be in for a few weeks at least. The results so far are amazing, though. They took off 15 lbs of skin/fat. All insurance covered. I'll be looking at an arm lift in about 6-8 weeks.

Is insurance paying for your arm lift also?

No. That one is self-pay. But the big one they covered, and that's what I'm happy with!

You look INCREDIBLE!

We have very similar 'before' bodies, so if you don't mind me asking, HOW did you get insurance to cover it?

I just got a $30k quote from a surgeon for a circumferential lift, so I'm feeling a little discouraged.

I'm speechless! I'm also so jealous of your procedure. Can I ask where you had it done and cost?

My bariatric surgeon documented my rashes with each appointment and I took pics for six months. I also had back pain noted as well. All of that was sent to my plastics guy and they took their own photos and submitted.

      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.
