Topic: RE: 1 Year Post LBL/BL

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.

Topic: RE: Coverage for compression garments??

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. ????

Topic: RE: Coverage for compression garments??

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)

You look, easily, 20 years younger. That's a great result!
