Question:
anybody approved for a lower body lift??

Hi Y'all, This is a totaly esthetic issue, so if you're offended by that please read no further. I'm almost 11 months post DS and down 115 lbs with 20 more to GOAL. I'm very happy with the wieght loss and my clothed self, but I'm really sensitive about my tigh, butt and breast.... I'm in San Francisco and my insurance is Health Net with Brown & Toland, I would really appreciate hearing from those of you who went through the same thing and had success getting insurance approval >>>>>>>>>>>>>HUGS<<<<<<<<<<<<< Diane    — Diane B.

Hi Diane ~ Sorry I don't have an answer for you, but just wanted to let you know that it's perfectly okay to have esthetic concerns and don't let anyone tell you different. I am also planning a lower body lift with my abdominoplasty. I have a date scheduled, but am waiting for my new insurance to kick in on January 1 before they can submit for approval. I have HealthNet now, but am switching to Highmark BCBS through Mellon Financial Corp. HealthNet has been pretty good to me in the past, I hope haven't made a wrong move. Good Luck to you though. Let me know how it turns out! ~ Paul M. Open RNY, 02/14/02, - 149 lbs.
