Topic: Anyone looking for compression girdles?

Hi all - I have some compression girdles that I no longer need and I'm wondering if anyone is interested in them?

Ankle length, fully separating zippers - I've got these in sizes XL, L, and M. (Measurements are on the site and taken around the widest part of the hip.)

Ankle length, not fully separating zippers - M

Above the knee girdle, fully separating - M

Arm compression sleeves - S

Below the knee girdle, fully separating - L

If you're interested in any of these, please private message me and we can work something out.

Thanks for your input. I will talk to my surgeon more about it and see what it would take.

I've definitely heard of this happening - really the only way you can find out is by talking to your surgeon and your insurance company.

Do you have a plastic surgeon already? That's the only way it could happen. An obgyn wouldn't do any reconstructive plastic surgery. He'd just do the hysterectomy.

I was having a lot of issues two years back and my obgyn said that if we decided on a hysterectomy, he could do it at the same time as my panniculectomy.

It didn't work out in the long run, but that's all the real life experience I have.

Topic: Panni with open hysterectomy?

Hi folks,

In the next month I am scheduled to have an open hysterectomy. I am wondering whether whether they might be able to remove some of the extra belly skin while they are doing surgery. Does anyone have experience with this? It would be a nice 2-for-1.

Who is your doctor? Does he take Insurance?

Topic: RE: Thigh Lift/Lower Body Lift...ever covered by Medicare?

Did you ever find the answer? Did medicare help pay for thigh lift.? I really need a thigh lift too. It limits my mobility and makes me look and feel older. I deal with it everyday.
