bat capes

As you guys know I am having some issues with my lower back and go to physical therapy three times a week. Well in the last or two my upper back mostly across the shoulders is in constant pain. Well he looked at my posture and the hanging capes on my arms and guess what? That extra sagging skin is like walking around with an 8 to 10 lb weight in each hand. Thus causing me to walk with shoulders sagging. He put me in a special posture brace and is writing documentation recommending the excess skin be removed. I am excited because my back is doing a number on me.

Good luck with insurance. I had my chiropractor write a note that my hanging pannus and arms were causing back pain and my insurance approved me for a panniculectomy and brachioplasty. I paid for the circumferential tummy tuck and anchor cut myself. My plastic surgeon didn't take enough skin off so I need revisions already. I hope you get approved. Debi

Thanks

I hope the letter does the trick.  Will the letter be from your physical therapist or ortho doc?

The documentation will come from the physical therapist and my primary care physician.

Cool.  Let us know how it goes.
