Need help - Excess skin removal 3 years post op
HI All,
I had my surgery 3 years ago today, and have lost 160lbs, and have kept it off for over a year. I have lots of excess skin, and would love a panniculectomy. My family doctor doesn't know anything about the process. Any help? How can I get this done and have it covered by OHIP?
Thanks for any and all suggestions!

Your GP refers you to a plastic surgeon that works with OHIP. The plastic surgeon sees you and will assess whether you may qualify and they send in the paperwork to get approval. I didn't use a surgeon who works with OHIP so can't give you his name. If you mention where you live, others can likely give you names of surgeons that work with OHIP. I know Dr. Nandagopal in Scarborough does but no idea who else does.
Dr matic in London was Awesome. I had a tummy tuck with him last October.
