I've lost more than 250 pounds, and my breasts are just bags of skin and glandular tissue.
I'm going for a plastics consult next month.
Has anyone successfully had breast work done where insurance covered it?

I did the LBL and arm lift in November and in 1 month will be doing a thigh lift and breast lift with augmentation.
I'm very pleased with how the first surgery went!
Yes Dr Fisher is retiring, he was to retire this year. I believe he has pushed it out a few months due to the covid 19 shut down as several surgeries had to get pushed back.

oh great - I knew he was supposed to be really good! And good thing you got in when you did - I heard a rumor that he recently retired!
Thank you for telling me about Dr Fisher btw. I did end up going with him and he did a fantastic job on my LBL.

Another VERY good point. I am adding this to my list!
Ooh, that is a really good point. I will really look at that key point.
I unfortunately didn't ask how much was removed, but I was down about 4 lbs after surgery - which I put back on fairly quickly. He did do some lipo for contouring but said there wasn't much fat there - it was mostly skin.
when you look at pictures, be sure to notice belly buttons. Those are supposedly pretty challenging to get right - so if the surgeon has a lot of pictures with weird-looking belly buttons, you may want to move on to someone else. If they look natural, that's one sign of a skilled plastic surgeon.
They will show you the best of the best pictures - ask them to show you somebody who looks like you and their results- looks like you in body build/amount of extra skin.

Hi everyone, cross-posting here and in the main forum...
My doctor suspects that I have Lipedema and Lymphedema (Stage 1) and wants me to see a specialist. Is there anyone out there that has gone to someone that can help or helpful tricks? Looking for a specialist is hard I guess since some Plastic surgeons do many other procedures as well (I'm seeing that liposuction is the only way to remove lipedema?
Until I can see a specialist, I got compression garments and they seem to help wonders. I know I posted about specific compression garments and I really wish they made 40-50's in leggings only (but they only go up to 20-30's since they said if someone needs 40-50's then they need help around the feet as well). I also found that 30-40's help as well, but the 40-50's REALLY keep me together.
The reason I want leggings is that I just want to wear something that I can wear flip flops in the summer. Wishing that they made the black compression stockings, with a lighter foot so it still looks like the illusion of being barefoot... lol
Thank you so much! What were some questions you asked? Trying not to forget anything!
