I had RNY Feb 24, 2010 and went from 285lbs to now 150lbs...135 lbs down  in 11months...I feel great but as with most of us who have had surgery, I have a lot of excess skin....I'm asking if anyone has any references for plastic surgeons in the central valley who will seek payment from Insurance (Blue Shield PPO) and who is basically try to get these this type of surgery covered through insurance..I definately don't have the funds out of pocket..excess skin in the stomach, arms and inner thighs are my wost areas.  So places from Modesto California to Fresno California Pleae let me know...I know some plastic surgeons won't even bother with Insurance so finding some who will, definately helps out...Thanks everyone!

 You did AMAZING!  I thought I rocked only being 20+ pounds from goal.  I am going to stanford in Palo Alto for my plastics.  I found this website the other day http://www.plasticsurgeryportal.com/  take a look at it.  I got a lot of helpful information from there.  One of the residents that works with my weight loss surgeon said its very rare for insurance to cover the arms.  I believe most insurance will cover a tummy tuck or a lower body lift as long as its medically necessary. (which it is)  I hope the website helps you.

once again CONGRATS on reaching your goal!!!
