Congrats. I am 2-2.5 years out from surgery with Dr Michaels as I as just as happy. I had breast reconstruction then later thigh lipo with fat transfer. You were showing your scars so people could see - but its wonderful that in normal body position the scars are difficult to detect. Best wishes for continued success with all.

Thanks for the reply.. I wi**** was provided by hospital because then it would be probably covered. The panniculectomy is covered by insurance but i'm paying the difference for the complete LBL out of pocket. I thought it would be pricey but $294. ????
not sure since I was self-pay all the way. I wore a hospital-provided abdominal binder for the first three or four weeks, which I'm sure they charged me for indirectly as part of the package. After that, I was told to get a Spanx (or similar brand) girdle with extra-firm hold, which I wore probably 23 hours a day until I was about three months out (I still wear it, but only 8-12 hours a day now. I could probably stop at this point, but I like wearing it sometimes)
Good morning!!! Trying to get all my ducks in a row for my upcoming lbl in April... just looking into the garment I'll need to wear after surgery and shocked by the price!!!!! ? Does anyone know if it's covered by insurance since the surgery is covered?? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!! Also any suggestions for compression attire after surgery would be great!!
Thank you so much.
