I have paid consultant fees for 3 different docs in the Memphis Tn area. 1st 6500 with not drains quilt method, 2nd was 12,000 with drains, 3rd was 9,000 with drains. I just can't afford them. I have 2000.00 & insurance. Non of them want to really work with the insurance to ask for panniculectomy which at 45 is ok w/me. They are more concerned with what they want my body to be like for there picture book. I know they want to be proud of the work but blue collar ppl just need the basic work done
