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

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?

Hello All
I am trying to write up my appeal letter in regards to my surgery being denied for coverage. Is anyone willing to share their letters of appeal with me?
I was denied because my skin doesn't hang low enough, however I have had two c-sections and I believe that if it wasn't for that scar tissue it would hang way lower!!
I had RNY April 2018 and have been maintaining my weight (100lb loss) since December 2018
Any help or suggestion are appreciated!!

Always give it YOUR 100% and remember everyone's 100% is different!
I totally had the same questions about whether or not it stays! I have always been small chested (though, when I was significantly heavier, they were considered "large", then I had my daughter and then everything totally deflated. hoping the "more experienced" chime in!
following (just because I'm interested). My surgeon asked if I wanted a fat transfer to my breasts for some "fullness", but I said no. I had big breasts my entire life and really wanted to be a B or C cup (which, thank God, I am now...). So...I passed. I wonder if the fat really stays in place, though - or if it eventually moves around...
