Yes! I was told it would take 4-6 weeks, but I was approved in 6 days with
no problems. My BMI is 45.6 and I have high B/P and acid reflux. I wrote
a long letter along with letters from several doctors. I just used the
sample letter I found on this website under "Your Journey." I
hope this helps.

Duh! Sorry, I didn't realize you were asking about skin reduction. I
thought it was for the surgery. I have no idea if they pay for that, but
I've been told you have to prove it's a medical condition and people have
sent pictures in of their sagging skin and that seems to help. I will be
interested to know the answer to this myself. Thanks.

It will help to have documentation of any medical problems the excess skin
is causing you. If you get a bad rash because of it, go to your doctor and
make sure it is in your chart. Do that EVERY time, so there is
documentation. Same is true if you are having infections, back paid or
anything else that is probably caused by the excess skin. Make sure that
all of that is documented by your physician. Good luck.
