Just got word from my dr. today that I was denied for my TT...  So I guess I will be self-pay and will have to wait until next year when I get my taxes back!!!!  I was pretty sure my insurance wasn't going to pay for it, but it was worth a shot.  They had told me that they have a really hard time getting United Healthcare to cover it.  I am not going to go through all the appeals because I doubt it will work.  I have lost 140 pounds, but I really don't have a ton of skin hanging, I actually bounced back pretty good, but I still have self confidence issues about what is there.  So I will be looking into February or April of next year I guess.  But it WILL get done!!!!!

HUGS to ALL,

Not surprised at all as it is a cosmetic procedure that 99.5% of insurance companies will not pay for unless the skin is causing pain/irritation.

At least you gave it a shot and now know it isn't covered and have a plan of action for self pay! 

Take care,
