TUMMY TUCK, UNITED HEALTHCARE, HYSTERECTOMY

That's amazing to hear! I'm actually really looking into gastric sleeve but I'm really curious on how u were able to have TT done with UHC??

I had a hysterectomy, hernia repair and a full TT all done at the same time.  I coordinated everything with my ob/gyn doc and the plastic surgeon and they were both there for the surgery.  My PS made the incision, the ob/gyn doc went in and did the hysterectomy  then the PS did the hernia and TT.  Only had to deal with 1 recovery and was back at work in 4 weeks. 

My insurance covered the TT (maybe because of the hernia)

No offense, if you have a health insurance company that pay for cosmetics, but if you don't have there a few options. (A)- Live with your skin, (B) See if you can find a surgeon will (C) Look into various loan program.

well obviously you would live with it if the insurance didn't cover it, not everyone can afford a loan. I think that was kind of rude! No offense doesn't make that comment any better just saying...

Hi, I had my gastric bypass surgery in June 2013.. as of today I went from 458 pounds to 248 pounds in 13 months.. for a total of 210 pounds or 45% of my body mass. I am on Medicare ( AARP/united health care). I have had 7 back surgeries due to an infection on my spine from an unrelated issue. My question is Because of the excess weight and my history of back surgeries do anyone know if United healthcare would pay for the removal of the skin? Thanks Kris

I have not yet had my surgery, but I plan on having the skin removed after all is said and done. One of my best frineds had Gastric Bypass. After she lost all her weight she had a Tummy Tuck done. The Surgery was almost 5 years ago and the Tummy Tuck about 4 years ago. She now is still perfect as ever. Happy Healthy and still the sweetest. I would go for it.
