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,

OH!!!  Good idea - telling them I have skin rashes but I really don't.  I keep trying to figure out a way to GET skin rashes

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.

What insurance company do you guys have?  It's almost time for Open enrollment and I'd like one that is more receptive to PS.

Thanks!
