Tummy tuck question

I was just wondering what tricare looks at before thay approve you for a tt. I have huniated disk in my neck and lower back and a have rashes under my appron. I don't have real real bad hanging skin. It does hang but not way over my pelvi (Sorry spelling sucks ) But, It pulls my hips down and i hurt real bad. I get the rashes real bad. I think i need to go to the doctors and see if he can give me something for it. Anyway, Can anyone answer my questions? Thank you, DEBRA

I have heard this or actually read from others messages that you have to complain about the rash to the doc.. So they can document it not sure if that is for the outside or if the doc will just put in for a TT.. Maggie

I had to fight for my tummy tuck but I had rashes, bad back and some other problems. I had 3 doctors saying it was medically necessary for me to have the procedure but Tricare didnt think it was.. Finally I found someone in Tricare who felt it was.

Hi catherine, I have back problems. Alot of stress from the hanging skin. My hanging skin is no real real bad but enough hanging to cost pain. I am very small frame. I do get rashes to. Thay are not real bad in the winter. I had worst rashes when i had all the weight but it has gotton better. It has not gotton hot out yet so i'll have to wait and see. How bad does the rashes have to be before thay concerter it medically necessary? I reallt want this TT. Debra

My rashes were not horrible bad but in my belly button they kept on recurring and it smelled so bad because it was like a yeast infection. I would just say to document everything and then submit it ..
