1a. Skin Removal Surgery

Hello all!
A few months back I had posted asking about skin removal surgery and we discussed how difficult it is to get it covered by insurance. Thought I would update you all on the fact that Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mass. approved the surgery without question. The surgeon had warned me that I would need to fight it as I have no medical conditions that make removing the pannus necessary. I got the approval in the mail on my birthday...what a gift! I am having the surgery on May 18. I understand it is extremely painful (I am doing the entire lower body lift along with breast reduction), but I can't wait for the results. I think there is hope that insurance regs are changing in our favor!!

Aime:
Where in Mass. are you getting your skin removal surgery done at? I'm getting ready to move to Connecticut in about 4 months and have been trying to get that surgery done in California for the past 2 years. So, once I move to the east coast, I can try to get the surgery approved out there.
I had my wls 5/2007. My stats are 324/180/164.

Congrats Aime!
I am glad to hear that. I hope when it is my time to have mine removed that it will be just as easy for me. Good Luck in the future!
