California Insurance

[pcoswarrior1994 10]

Hey everybody,

I was just wondering something, for those of you who had any type of weight loss surgery and that live in california did you guy get skin removal along and or along with a body lift after your surgery?

If so did your insurance cover it?

And if they did what type of insurance do you have that'll cover everything?

And does anybody know what health insurances cover the skin removal and or body lift, that's in California?

I have not heard of any insurance covering that since thats a cosmetic issue and not a health issue. Most people that do that do it out of pocket.

Actually if you have enough skin and enough issues, like back pain and/or rashes it becomes "reconstructive surgery" and is completely covered by many insurances. As it was with mine.

My insurance was in Nevada, though I had by Abdominoplasty at UCLA because it was particularly challenging and not many surgeons were anxious to do it.

Good luck,

Tek
