I am female 40 year old and I had bariatric surgery December 6, 2019 I am now 52 160 and I have loose hanging skin that keeps getting rashes underneath. I have trouble exercising because the extra skin gets in the way and it feels like my back is hurting all the time especially when I exercise. Will Tricare pay for a panniculectomy or even abdominalplasty for urinary incontinence?
I had gastric bypass surgery in Sweden 2 year ago. I had complication like abdominal hernia. I had lot of rash difficulty to clean my self back pain and my primary doctor told me probably lot skin in my belly. I'm very sure you the perfect doctor to help me. I had Tricare insurance they told me if the necessary surgery because the problem affect my everyday life. Maybe can cover?
I am looking for a surgeon that would be willing to work with a tricare approved surgeon to complete my tummy tuck following my hernia repairs. I have distasis recti, an epigastric hernia and an umbilical hernia. I would like to hear from some local surgeons on your fees
I developed skin necrosis on my belly button along with a light pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterial infection after a tummy tuck. I also had a hernia which was fixed during surgery. Is it likely that Tricare would pay for this procedure due to the hernia being removed or the resulting bacterial infection?
I have 7.8cm diastasis recti & recently had umbilical hernia repair with mesh by a general surgeon. After the procedure he informed me he could repair my diastasis with a vertical incision and tightening the muscles. This procedure has a much higher rate of being covered by my insurance (Tricare) than a tummy tuck. Is this a good idea or should I suck it up & pay 10k for a tummy tuck? I understand I will have a scar up my abdomen and I would have a plastic surgeon remove any excess skin.
Hi I live in Oklahoma and just lost 47 lbs and have had 3 children. I am now 48 and just went through a very tough divorce. I also have SLE. And have been suffering from depression due to how much extra skin I have. I don't go out at all, only to my doctors appointments and to do grocery shopping. I have tricare prime and read that this other lady about my age got her tummy tuck covered minus $1000.00. Can you please tell me if anything can be done for me please?
