Saggy skin

To get things a moving again....Lets hear the saggy skin stories or things that you just cant believe or find funny about the surplus saggy skin most of us now have! This should be fun! -Gerriann 165 pounds gone forever!

I cant believe how uncomfortable it is to sit on skin that is squished into jeans. It gets folded or just plain squished together. I shake my head each time I sit on something hard and get pinched. The jeans look great on the outside but on the inside it is amazing how much skin you can squish into such small clothes. -Gerriann

G'mornin, and Happy Easter,getting ready to have a Fabulous family dinner today, wanted to reply to saggy skin.I have very good elasticity but even so Oh!! those little folds, Here is a visual, I told my Husband I have gone from a St bernard to a Sharpei Puppy LOL I am 4ft 8 inches started at 205 and down to 120lbs hoping to lose 15 more so ins will pay for TT. does anyone know if BCBS will pay for TT without a full 100lb loss?

Hi Marcia, First of all, congrats on your weight loss! That is phenominal! As far as insurance and coverage of plastic surgery, it isn't the amount of weight you lost that they go by. It is medical necessity. You must prove that it is medically necessary that you have plastic surgery. Meaning, if you didn't have the plastics, your health would be compromised. Rashes, boils, etc. under the "apron" or boobs would classify as medically necessary in most cases. It is imperative that you document any rashes, irritations, boils, etc. When you get one, take a picture, call the doctor and fill the creams/meds prescribed. Get copies of any doctor visits that you had that had to do with the rash or boil. I get occasional rashes and I get boils frequently. You can bet that I have every one photographed and documented. I went to my doctor for the last boil because it was huge. Documentation is IMPERATIVE when you are trying to get plastics. Also, my insurance (I also have Anthem....alhtough every plan is different) covers only a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) and a breast lift, if it is deemed medically necessary. They don't cover anything else according to the service rep, even if it is medically necessary. For example, I get boils on my inner thighs. But according to them, they will never cover a thigh lift. I document them anyway because you never know, but they were pretty clear that they only covered the two procedures (TT and boob lift). Good luck and DOCUMENT! Hugs, Denise
