Has anyone had surgery after weightloss? I was curious as to the cost and the pain. I assume insurance won't pay for it but I was reading a book by Carnie Wilson, "I'm Still Hungry" and she states that insurance paid for hers.

Barbara, I have BC/BS federal and insurance does cover reconstructive surgery after losing weight if there are problems related to it. I've seen a surgeon in Great Falls and he's pretty sure insurance will cover a breast lift for me because I get sores when I do longer runs. The belly, however, will likely be a different story as I don't have a very hangy pannus so it doesn't get rashes. I hear the pain with a TT is bad and they suggest taking 4-6 weeks off work. I won't be able to do that (don't have enough leave built up) so I hope it's bearable after 2 weeks. I also think arms and inner thighs are quite painful, but those areas are very sensitive. Linn
