Hello,

 

At my highest weight it was 360. I now am 208. I've lost the 150 pounds on my own no surgery but now have excess skin hanging will OHIP pay to help remove it?

You will need to have a plastic surgeon send in an application to OHIP to see. Some plastics will send them some won't. Out your way, there are several plastics who may. Kreidstein is one, you could look into seeing him?

Congrats on your weight loss!

Congrats on your weight loss! You should be very proud of your accomplishments. Get your family Dr. to refer you to a plastic surgeon that will apply to OHIP on your behalf for a "panniculectomy" , do not use the terms Tummy Tuck or adominaloplasty because OHIP will not cover that. Document all rashes under your skin flap by calling your family Dr. for every rash and get prescription creams( I used Lotriderm). Good Luck
