Thanks! I make my appointment next Wednesday... I'm still healing for my extended TT and arms.

I would, since my excess skin was problematic for me. I would not have asked my surgeon to extend to my calves, but I'm very happy with the results.

For me, the recovery from the thigh lift was the hardest because I had some wound separation that took extra time to fully heal. That ended up being more mentally taxing than I had expected!

How was your recovery from the thigh lift? I've been approved for one and I'm worried about the recovery.
thanks!

You can google letter of appeal panniculectomy and find sample letters. Do some research, see what others have written and put a letter together. Look at this site

Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
Been up twice to walk and have the maximum number of laps allowed per walk, also used the restroom! Feeling better than I thought I would.

I don't have a letter and I wish you luck on getting your approval! Do you have any rashes or other problems you could document?
