I apologize for not responding, I've been so busy I haven't checked back since my last posting. I am having the surgery at Newton Wellesly Hospital by Dr. Christopher Davidson. Body contouring after weight loss surgery is his specialty. His web site is: http://www.christopherdavidsonmd.com/
Best of luck!

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!!
