Not getting luck with insurance

I had my gastric bypass surgery Oct. 27, 2009 and have lost over 180 pounds and am well under my original goal weight. I felt pretty ok with my body knowing I had to have some surgery done but I wasn't as saggy as I am now. I am only 28 and look horrible. Plus have been having issues with rashes and hormonal issues that the doctors believe is due to the excessive skin yet my insurance (government issued) won't help cover. Not sure what to do since I absolutley hate my body now and it is seriously affecting my life. I don't like to get compliments because they say I look so thin but I see all the skin and think they are crazy. I also have stopped being intimate with my hubby because I hate anyone looking at my body. I live in MA and was looking for some others who may have been through this. I am a mom and a college student so the full estimate from PS was about 45000 and there is no way I can afford that. Welcome any help and support given. Thanks.

Many insurance compamies will not cover plastics...even if there are isseus beyond purely cosmetic.

Many people have traveled out of the country and had plastics at a fraction of the cost that would be charged in the US.  That is actually my longe term plan because I know that the insurance will not even consider covering me.  I am looking at Dr Sauceda in Mexico. 

You may want to seek out some counseling to help deal with your body image issues in the mean time...it may make a difference in the qualtiy of your life.

I went to Dr Sauceda and had my surgery just a little over 3 weeks ago.  He really is an artist.  Here's are the links to his board here on OH and his website.
