Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone here has or knows someone who has been successful in getting MCP to cover the tummy tuck surgery to remove excess tissue after losing weight?  If so, how bad was it before they agreed?  Thanks!

 Wow that is the best news ever,i had an apointment with my fam Dr. today & i told him that i had heard that there was a Dr. in St.John's NL now doing weight lost surgery & he told me he would check into it for me...It wasn't much more then a hr when my Dr. call me & told me it it was true.And right away i'm being set up for curtain tests her to make sure that everything is good with my health to get this surgery done...My Dr. then send a referal letter & get me on the list...I'm so excited.

 Hi nice people,just found & signed up to this site right away.I'm a 63yr old women & is over weight & 320lbs right now.I've had a really bad back for about 15yrs now,my Dr.'s tell me it's from sewing so many yrs.I've been a seamstress for nearly 40yrs but had to pretty give it up this past yr or so & i really miss it.
I was wondering if this Dr.Pace is in Newfoundland or any other Dr. that does weight lost sergery.I so much want to lose this weight but due to my back problems & also born with Herb's Palsey of the left arm i'm unable to do any walking only can walk or stand for about 5 mins @ a time 10mins max.It's been hell for me,i want so badly to live again & do my housework without having to sit down every few mins.It would mean the world to me to be able to go shopping without dragging a stool seat so i can sit when my back hurts to much.Also DR.'s tell me if i can get the weight of that it would make it so much easier for me to get back surgery done...I want to live normal again so badly,i'm very young @ heart,funny great sense of humor & love to talk to people....
PLEASE PLEASE if anyone can help me in anyway i would be soooooooooo grateful.
Thanking you all in advance

Big hugs to all...
