plastics surgeons in Nebraska

I am post bariatric surgery and am now ready to have surgery to remove excess skin.  I have checked out the list of doctors in Nebr but am wondering which one you all reccommend.  I am on Medicare so have been told they will only pay for the stomach.  Has anyone else heard that?  If so, what have you done to get the rest fixed?  Just looking for ideas.

Hi, there are several good plastic surgeons in Nebraska. The only way medicare or any insurance will pay for plastic surgery is to prove medical necessity. You have to have chronic rashes underneath your belly or a hernia to qualify for medicare to pay for surgery. With breast reduction you have to have rashes underneath your breasts or chronic neck and upper back pain. If you are looking to have your arms or legs done, it is considered cosmetic. You will have to pay for it yourself. Hope this helps. Mona
