boobs

Has anybody found any info about getting an uplift or boob job covered because these sorry boobs need something. If i get the panni which i know is covered and has anybody had that surgery yet to see what the experience was and how long did you have to wait?????

When I last went to see Dr. Hardy, she said there is no guarantee that the panni is covered yet.  They are still in the talking stages with Manitoba Medical and the plastic surgeons.  Which is disappointing as it sounded like it was automatically part of the post surgery procedure when I went for my consult (and I can certainly use it!) 

A woman I know in Thunder Bay had her panni and breasts covered out there.  Because it is so new here, I think there are a lot of unknowns for us.  Will let you know if I here anything more - I have an appointment with Dr. Hardy this week and will ask again!

I feel for you, what is a Panni?

A panni is the nickname for a pannilectomy - the surgery that removes the "apron"like fold of skin that remains around the waist when a person loses a sizeable amount of weight.  It can cause health problems, like rashes and infections.  It is not the same as a tummy tuck.   Google it for more information if you like.  It appears to be covered by medical in some provinces, but is yet to be determined in Manitoba.
