Topic: Denied Panniculectomy

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!!

Topic: RE: Fat Transfers

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!

Topic: RE: Fat Transfers

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...

Topic: Fat Transfers

Has anyone had a fat transfer from one part of their body inserted somewhere else? Wondering about experiences? Thinking about having fat transferred from my hips area to either my breasts or butt... Thanks!

Had my last pre-surgery visit on Friday and the surgeon wants to do a 360 but the extra out of pocket in a no go. So, extended TT and arms are going to be done then depending how that goes 10 weeks later he'll do my thigh lift! My husband is staying the first week of both surgeries to help me in and out of bed/couch until I can be on my own. I'm super nervous and extremely excited at the same time!!

OOOHHHH! that's great! Can't wait to see how things progress!

CONGRATS! I called my insurance company and there is no way insurance will pay for any plastic surgery... kinda makes me sad
