What are my chances of being approved for a panniculectomy?

June 27, 2015
Asked By:Tessalappy15 in Bellingham, WA

The most I've weighed is 375 lbs. I now weigh 224 lbs. I've had two children. I am starting to get rashes on my bikini line, underneath my "apron", and on my leg where my "apron" rubs. I've asked a doc for cream for it. It greatly affects my self esteem and mobility. It hurts my stomach to bend over because it pulls so much. It hurts my back because it weighs so much. I can't exercise properly because it gets in the way.
