I go Wed for my consultation... questions
I go this Wed for my consultation for plastics. All I want done is a panni removal. The rest of my saggy skin I can live with.
I have lost 190 pounds, have bladder leakage and sometimes incontinence of the bladder. My surgery was almost two years ago.
So do you all think that I might be able to get approved with just these problems? I do not have any rashes, but I do get a stinch under the apron at times. I am just scared to death that the insurance is not going to think that these "problems" constitute a panni removal.
So tell me what else are possiblities that I could bring up so the PS that I might have overlooked as a "problem". Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all.

The beauty of a woman is not seen through what she wears. It is seen through how she carries herself and the way she doesn’t allow herself to settle. Don’t ever let anyone take for granted the beauty that is within you. Stand firm and know that you’re a wonderful person. Always remember your value and respect yourself. I’m so blessed to have you in my life. Sometimes we all need to be reminded how special we really are!

While your insurance will DOUBTFULLY cover you for panni - you can get coverage for a surgical rectocele and cystocele (repairing the vaginal walls) and get your plastic surgeon to agree to working right after the procedure (coordinate the surgery so that your insurance covers your hospital portion of cost and all you pay is surgeon fees!)
This is what my mom did! She had her hysterectomy/recto/cystocele repairs and then her tummy tuck, eyebrow lift, and neck lift and only paid $7k to the surgeon himself.
Im not sure which hospital you are using - but I know my hospital Ill be using charges roughly $6k for one night. So you are saving a chunk of change!:)
