Tummy Tucks ????

Just wondering if after the surgery, does msi cover the cost to get rid of the excessive skin on the abdomen, thighs, arms, breasts .... or is the a cost that you have to pay yourself. On this same topic ... does the weight loss surgeon refer you for this or is it referred by your own family doctor ? 

Another question - what are the best under garments to purchase here in NS for holding the loose skin in place - so that clothes fit properly?

Thanks everyone !!!!

They don't cover ANY skin removal or tummy tucks! Other provinces do, but, NS is far behind!

so , if we have a vsg surgery in ns, can we get covered for skin removal or tummy tucks in other provinces?? some people travel from pei /nb/nfld to have surgery here, can we apply to get surgery there ?

I don't think, but anything is worth a try! I had moved to Alberta and lucky enough they offered it!
