OK.. the main thing is to document all those rashes scripts and creams! take lots of pictures.

IF your insurance covers it, it will have to be proved medically necessary (like your band) and they will REQUIRE all that documentation and pics. So EVERYTIME you see someone for rash or skin breakdown DOCUMENT IT!

This is part of my problem.. I have the lose skin but no rashes or breakdown.... my insurance DOES cover skin removal but ONLY if medically neccessary........ I'm having my first consult tomorrow.

I used to get rashes but weas laways to embarresed to go to the Dr for them so I just always took care of them myself and what do you think was the first thing the PS asked me when I had my consults."did you get it documented?" Oh well too late now, I am scheduled for Oct 23rd TT

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
