Insurance denied for plastic surgery

Hi everyone,

A friend of mine was denied 5 times for plastic surgery.  About 4 years ago, she had the DS and lost somewhere between 200 and 300 lbs.  I would think that if anyone would be eligible for PS, it would be her.  Does anyone know of any other way for her to get this surgery without insurance besides self paying for ALL of it?  I was thinking that some hospitals need the extra skin for burn victims and would help out with the costs of the surgery.   

Thank you.

She needs to check her policy.  Some companies automatically exclude PS from their coverage.  If that is the case, they will never approve it.   Most hospitals don't want the sking of people that have lost a lot of weight as it has lost all of its elasticity.  Have her check and see if there are any residency programs around where she lives.
