My highest weight was 300 from lap band in 2010 and after 2 babies and weight gain and loss I?m 169. I have lots of skin on my abdomen, inner thighs, arms, and sagging breasts. I?m seeing Dr Boukovalas at UT he?s a reconstructive surgeon. I have all the paperwork from pcp for a panniculectomy. I go into his office on Friday and aside from being gorgeous is so sweet tells me we?re going to submit your fluer de lis panni with thighs and then after that your arms and breasts reconstruction. He took tons of pics and said I would be covered for the tummy for sure. Can surgeons convince insurance to cover reconstruction of multiple body parts. I have regular blue cross blue shield and blue care on the side!

Thanks Janet for sharing your personal experience. All of these posts have convinced me to forgo any glass of wine!

I am not going to even take a sip now that I have read all of the posts!

Thanks for your post. I am not going to take the transfer addiction risk!

I am so sorry to hear that. I posted a few minutes ago that alcoholism runs in my family. So far I have not had an issue but the fact that I posted and asked about it might just be a red flag. Thanks for your post and for the link.
