I had herd so many great things about Dr Grubb. Insurance approved me for my TT and MR. I'm a 29 year old mother of 2. I weighed at my highest 288 pounds and went down to 146 before surgery. He removed 2 pounds of lose skin. My incisions are very low. Scar looks amazing. My recovery was quick! Hospital was nice also.

Did you have a tt or panniculectomy? How did u get insurance to cover tt? Currently in appeals with my insurance for panniculectomy removal. Had 150# weight loss. Any suggestions? You look great!!!

I had tt with mr. Dr grubb was able to code where insurance approved. If u live in Va I would see Dr grubb he is amazing. He's going to do my breast augmentation also when I get the money.

I've lost 100 lbs, i have major skirt hanging. I had some damage to my tummy from a total hysterectomy that left bad baggage hanging from incision busting. You can't even see my pubic area when I stand. So glad I saw your pictures gives me hope my insurance will approve my condition. By the way you are beautiful girl!!

Congrats on your weight loss and I'm happy I can give you some hope. I went to a reconstructive plastic surgeon he was able to code for them to pay. He took lots of pics and submitted a photo album which they requested to them.

Yes it is, Im still wearing the compression garment they have me. How long are you suppose to wear them? They told me in the office when I had my drains out to wear this one for a month, then I can start wearing spanks.

I wore mines for 6 weeks before my doctor told me to stop wearing it. He said people tend to use it like a "security blanket." I gave it up totally around 8 weeks and just dealt with the swelling until I didn't notice it anymore. I haven't used any other cg type garment since. :-)

I received my explanation of benefits today. My insurance did pay for my TT and MR. I posted the letters for you. All together I have to pay $762. This is not my official bill, I will also get an employee discount which is not started here.

I called them first to make sure they covered it all depended on how much access skin I had and the doc took lots of pics.
