Very Discouraged

Haven't been on in a long while, still about 30lbs from goal, feel good. Went for a plastic surgery consult and he said my abdominal muscles were good just needed to take fat and skin and a little lipo also a boob lift and implant to reshape,, only if I had $12,000!! how do all these others get their tummy tucks and such covered by insurance??? I could live with my boobs if I could just get rid of the stomach, He said he would probabaly remove about 20lbs. Having hunger issues too just pulled out the protein powder again and taking some appetite control over the counter.

My abdominoplasty was approved out of MEDICAL NECESSITY. The rashes that occur under the skin, the backaches, stuff like that. Document them - complain about them to your pcp so that its in your medical records. If you get the rashes, photograph them. It all helps. And also? I had my eyes snipped at the same time. Upper eyelids will get approved if you can fail the visual fields test. They will NOT approve the boobs, however. No way that is ever anything other than cosmetic, unless they are TOO big and need to be reduced. Good luck and don't give up. Talk to the PS about the medical necessity issue and have him submit for it. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Hey Belinda! Dont be discouraged. I had to pay for my boobs and arms. I am working on the lower body lift now. I just started documenting stuff w/the PCP doctor to see if I can get it covered. Most insurance companies will pay if you lost 100+ lbs. Keep your chin up! I am too just recently taking stacker 2 I am thinking I only have 15 or so lbs to go and they just wont come off. But I dont think they work for people like us. Any whooooo keep your chin up! Nealy

Hi; I heard that if you put Dawn Dish Soap; between the folds of skin; it will produce a rash overnight. This was brought up in a support group for those wanting PS. havn't tried it yet; but am SERIOUSLY considering it. markg
