Body lift done!

[HRHMKB 76]

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!

Wow! You look amazing. What did you need to do to get it covered?

[Sosewsue61 3,185]

You look amazing already!!!

(Can I ask what you before and after stats?)

[Orchids&Dragons 9,047]

Absolutely amazing! Glad your feeling well!

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.
