I am curious if anyone has any information on medicare and plastic surgeries. I had a DS and have lost about 140lbs. I need quite a bit of plastic surgery but feel like I still have about 80 lbs to lose but I'm just checking things out early. I have a huge panniculus and batwings for days. I am constantly fighting yeast under the large fat apron and have continous back pain but thats another issure. Anyway I would appriciate any info you have.
Thanks !

First, don't call it plastics as most people think of cosmedic surgery.  You have to prove medical conditions like rashes in folds of skin or ulcers etc.,  Plan on seeing you PCP monthly complaining of, for example, rashes, make sure they note in your medical recorded and get a pescription for cream and or antibiotics and keep receipts.
