Hey guys,
I had RNY 0ct 2006 and had anchor cut tummy tuck, lipectomy on March 16th. I'm back at work already and it LOOKS FABULOUS!!! Dr. Warnock in Wichita Falls, TX did my surgery. He was my bariatric surgeon. I had a hernia that needed to be fixed, and I really had no expectation whatsoever that insurance would approve the skin removal too. Dr. Warnock submitted it for approval to insurance, it took several months (insurance company kept on losing the paperwork, losing the pictures, etc.) But, he got it all approved. I paid $1600 out of pocket for a $31,000 surgery. He took 7 1/2 lbs of excess skin off. I stayed from Friday to Sunday in the hospital, took about a full week to recover and then started going in for an hour or two of work on the second week, gradually working up to half days and now I'm back on full days. No lifting, bending or stretching at all for 10 days. No lifting at all for 6 weeks after surgery. But, it is SO WORTH IT. I have the tummy of a 16 year old girl. He cut all the way around and lifted my derriere some too. My scar does not go all the way around but ends above each cheek. :) It even lifted my saggy thighs a little bit!!
