Congrats I also got my approval today and also am very excited. Dawn

Hi and Congrats on you upcoming PS. Can I ask you how you were able to get BCBS to pay? Are they paying for a Panni? Are you having muscle work done too? Are you staying overnight? I have the Blues and my PS does not submit for approval. Says to do it after the fact. What documentation did you provide in order to get your approval? My ETT is scheduled for Dec 16. Can't wait!

BCBS is paying only for my Panni. The Dr. suggested that they would not pay for a regular tummy tuck (with muscle work) because mine was not extensive enough. He did express concern because I have really good skin - so he said. I just kept saying "if I don't use powder every morning - buy the afternoon I have a developing rash". I brought no documentation with me. He examined me - and played with all my flabs - and took pictures. It then took 2 1/2 weeks to get approval from BCBS with no further fights. I wish you all the best. I can't wait to get rid of this apron so I can see how pants are really suppose to fit. Good Luck Dawn

Hi I'm glad for you. Do you know if Medicare will pay for the sutgery ,they did pay for the initial surgery. Enjoy your new body. LOL Cheryl
