I would love to follow your story. Which doctor did you start this process with? I have had two children and my flap is almost identical to yours, mine is from being obese and my two children but I'm so self conscious, I wont even wear jeans anymore. I'm afraid they will want me to lose tons of weight before they will help me. I just want it gone :(

Good luck to you sweetie. I was in your situation following three kids and my insurance approved it. I pray that yours does to. Just had my surgery on May 27th and it has already made such a difference in my life. I hope that you know the feeling as well. Keep us posted.

Hi there, welcome!

Good luck with your insurance, I hope it all goes through for you! Is the excess skin from post-pregnancy weight loss?

genii8aFebruary 8, 2014

From both i had excess skin from weight loss before but not as bad as now. And then i had two more babies and it made the excess skin hang more. Now i just hit à plat .my youngest is two already..

K_at_RealSelfFebruary 9, 2014

I know what you mean, I haven't had the kids, but I have a lot of excess skin from weight loss and will be needing this surgery myself soon. I'll definitely be keeping up-to-date with your progress!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! Do you have any ideas how long you'll have to wait for insurance approval?

loriw78February 10, 2014

Good luck on your journey! As far as how long you may have to wait on insurance that varies depending what insurance company it is. I had to wait 30 days with Cigna. I feel so much better since having my panniculectomy and know that you will too!

genii8aMarch 4, 2014

msbadhanMarch 22, 2016
