BCBS fed NC Adominal plasty

I have BCBS fed NC. I wanted to know if anyone out there have this type of health insurance and had the adominal plasty done. If you did or know of someone that could help me out with what their process was. I really want to have this done. I have lost 107 pounds and I still have stress on my back and shoulders. I get a relief by just lifting the skin on my adominal area so I can only imagine how much better I would feel with it all gone. I have had so much stress in my shoulders and I finally realized that it's all coming from the heaviness of the abdominal skin weight.

Ivory,

First of all, congratulations on your losses and gains!

Secondly, you may want to contact DaltonL. He has BCBSNC and got them to cover his pannulectomy. He can tell you what the requirements are. I think he said he was denied 3 times, but persistence pays off. 

thanks for responding. i am not satisfied with my weightloss at all. ive only lost 107 pounds in a year and a half almost. i want the excess skin removed maybe i will fell better. just my stomach area i believe the weight of the skin pulls from my back support. sometimes i lift my apron and i get such a relieve of strain on my back. im having to take muscle relaxers to help. my thighs and arms are hopeless. i hope all goes well for you. im going to a ps consultation on may 19. i will keep you informed. what can i do to boost my weightloss...i need help.

Hi Ivory,
I am, very tired right now but am dealing with some major skin issues myself.
Bf wls I had my apron removed we paid out of pocket totally happy with it BUT>>>>>>
the surgeon did nothing with the mons pubis area.
I am trying smaller panties girdles you name it but I do belive the weight of the extra skin is pulling most every pantie I try down it is driving me crazy!!!
I bought some girdles off ebay a week ago ok
 I get them but they hit me like a bikini pantie and I cant stand it.
All my life I have always worn briefs I just cant get used to this.
Going for a PS appoinment 7/1/10
