Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

wow I didnt realized how much of a cut they do with that surgery. It looks painful. But good for you that your only taking a few tylenol. Can I ask if you dont mind did you pay for this or did insurance?
And did the 18 pounds you loose is that from the excess skin?

Way to go girl. Proud of you.

Wow so they paid 100 %. I always said i didnt want to do the plastic route but now that more and more skin is hanging Im having second thoughts. You look great in your recent photos of you and hubby on the anniversary.

please don't get confused...there are a few different tummy tuck surgeries...what i had was combined with hernia repair which was where the verticle incision is.they also put the separated muscles back together.for instance a panni removal is only a horizontal incision...a belt lipectomy is horizontal but all the way around.the cuts will depend on what you have done.mine was complete abdominoplasty.my ins is some side co thru hubby's work..it was paid because of the hernia and hip issues.
