Suz- My insurance paid for part of my body lift, too.  I had an infection under there that I had documented for several years, and they deemed it medically necessary to remove to flap of skin and fat on my stomach.  You never know!

wow - so long ago.. I'm so glad I stuck around, you guys have been a huge support system to me. Just weighing in everyweek with you guys is awesome. It really helps keep me accountable. I can't believe so many people have come and gone. I'd love to see they are doing.

I remember reading on OH - there were some websites and examples of insurance letters ( to try and get it covered) somewhere- could be worth a look...
I've heard that some insurance companies will cover a panniculectomy (sp?) if you can show documentation from your dr of the rashes and infections that the excess skin is causing.
Mine isn't bad enough that I get a rash or anything like that- mine just looks like crap!!!

OK...I have to ask how in the world you got insurance to pay for your tt. I am terrified to even ask or pursue it because the plastic surgeon I talked with said they seldom see anything covered, even if one has a hernia like I do. All I know is that I am miserable with the hanging skin and infections in my belly button...but I certainly can't afford $17,000 to have a new belly and boobs.

Marta- definitely keep looking.  Mine included all three of those things as well.  I double checked to make sure I wasn't off base, and for my arms, breast lift  and augmentation with silcon implants it was $12800 for all services total.

I was thinking about her the other day. I hope she's okay...especially with the hurricane upon her.

Check this link out....you guys will be amazed at where we were when we started this journey! It seems like it's been forever, and yet it has gone by in the blink of an eye. I do wish that some of our original members were still hanging around! Anyway...enjoy!

Thanks Everyone for your input -
I am looking in to other Drs. , my next consult is in Oct. ( I'm leaving on another Hong Kong business trip this weekend and will be gone about 10 days.) I can't believe the $$ difference  compared to everyone else. It does include hosp, Dr, and anthes....but still it is high. I'm not in a real hurry either, I would'nt be able to have it done till next year - since I would need to use vacation time for recovery. This way I have time to search it through.
Thanks again -
Marta
