Moulikow - TTuck Question

Again, I post a question about Ttucks (obsessed much?)!!

Moulikow posted at some point about 2 surgeons in NB who do the surgery and cover it by Medicare.  I can't find that post, and would like to look into those surgeons.  I'm at the point now where exercise isn't going to do much, and I'm tired of Spanxing myself near to death.  I mean, who wants to wear that stuff all the time?  I go to the gym 3 days a week, eat very well, and have maintained a weight loss of over 100 pounds for over a year now (147 pounds gone...it's getting harder to lose weight now, and I would have to say that a good 5-10 pounds would be excess tummy).

I'm not a VAIN person, and honestly of course the weight loss has meant sagging in other places too, but really I just want my abdomen taken care of - it's a real issue. 

Anyone know those 2 surgeons, or  have heard any news about anything Ttuck-related??

 Hi Anita..
Congrats on your WL success!

There were 3 plastic surgeons mentioned in the post:
Dr. Skanes
Dr. Howley
Dr. Haswell was also mentioned by another poster (bikermom).

I wish you all the best!

Here's the post you were referring to:

Thanks Carly!!  This is a huge help!

I'm wondering if anyone else out there has heard anything about TTucks/Abdominoplasty being covered (or not) by Medicare.  I'm not thrilled about the idea of having to wait years to get it done and be covered...though I understand it's par for the course, considering how long people are waiting to have WLS.

Dre Skanes did my tummy tuck and me breast reduction last year.

Good luck!

Thanks!
My dr. had sent my referral to Dr. Haswell in early Jan. of this year.  According to his office they are looking at a 1.5 - 2 year wait time - just to see him.  Ugh!!

Did you say that Dr. Skanes is no longer taking any patients?  How long was your wait to get in to see him?
