I am APPOVED!!!!
I really havn't posted on this board to much in the past but I thought I would just say that I am approved to have a mini tummy tuck. My insurance is going to pay for everything but $15.00 which is my copay so yes. 100% coverage from insurance.
My PCP is a sweetheart. He said that he would work with any plastic surgeon that I pick and that he will copy what ever the surgeon said. So they worked together very well. If I had to pay out of pocket I wouldn't be doing it. Yes I have lots of hanging skin but nothing good shapewear couldn't hide. I am just so happy that I documented all rashes and irritations (didn't have any just told the doctor I did).
They are working out my schedule while I am typing this out. I am hoping to have surgery done in a few weeks. I can't wait.
Aloha,
Asia

Hi Asia,
Congratulations on the approval! What is a "mini" TT? I was approved for a panniculectomy without any rashed or irritation. That really suprised me because the hanging skin isn't really that bad. I wanted to have insurance to help pay for BA. It turned out to really not be a savings so I had the BA 3 weeks ago. I am going to schedule the panni for November.
