WORTH IT
Surgery done yesterday. Stayed overnight at hospital. Very sore at the moment but I know it's well worth it. I have some pix but will post others once healing is more complete. I'm part of a study that gave me a wound vac to see if it helps with healing or not. I I'll get it removed when I go for my post op appointment Monday. Cant wait to see what my belly looks like

I stay in Memphis Tn I know it's higher over here if you don't mind me asking how much did you pay there

Actually my insurance paid so I didn't have any out of pocket expenses

That's great girl! I just didn't think insurance paid for cosmetic surgeries my belly looks worser than yours I lost a massive amount of weight and my panniculus hangs at below my symphysis punis which cause my back pains to worsen and cause my belly to sweat sometimes break out in rash and smells if I don't keep it clean. I have had two c section with another surgery scar tissue removal and my c section surgery was cut from belly button on down what type of insurance do you have

I have UPMC insurance. It's a big company where I'm at. Like highmark.... just talk to the PS.... that's what I did. I said please do it to where I look nice. I don't want to look like a refrigerator lol and he definitely did me well.

Hi! I'm new to this app. I had gastric sleeve in feb last year and now I'm thinking about the panni. How are you feeling? Did your insurance cover it?
June 29, 2017
Hello! I had a sleeve in November 2015 and had my boobs and panni covered by my insurance. I'm feeling great actually. I'm not even 2 weeks out of panni surgery and moving like I was prior. A little sore back from being huntched over for a week but that's it. I may get a little tired at times if I'm doing too much walking but okay overall.

My stomach looks just like yours did i had twins a year ago and i have the same flap. Mines ia starting to get a odor so my dr is starting my paper trail to get my insurance to cover it. How long was the process for you
July 7, 2017
For my insurance to cover it I had to be prescribed the ointment for at least 90 day. So get started asap!

July 10, 2017
