Question:
Has anyone had excess skin and fat removed after having the bypass?

I would like to know about the plastic surgery and the frequency that the insurance providers actually cover it.    — stacey F. (posted on April 3, 2001)

The main thing to consider is documenting it now.. see your Drs for the rashes, infections, smells etc you get under your breasts or your stomach flap (forgive me I cannot recall what its actually called). Get pictures showing the rashes etc.. That will help you in the long run to prove medical necessity. I have been told to stop self treating.. and work w/ my physician to control it so that it can be documented.. so here we go.
