| Cub Reporter  |  Heidi Hi there everyone, I'm interested in talking to anyone whose had plastic surgery after a large weight loss. Altough I didnt have WLS I've lost about 75kg and am about to have a tummy tuck and arm surgery to remove excess skin, love to know how other peoples surgery went and if they're happy with the results. Thanks heaps. Heidi |

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.  |

| Super Moderator  | Welcome to the board, Heidi. 75kg--that's approx. 165lb. That is really a great feat! I am so glad to hear of your success. Most members on this board are still on their way to their goal, so as far as I know, only Craig, the Guru has had TT, and I know he's happy with the result. As a matter of fact, you can barely see his op scars. (As one of his docs, I've seen them, so I can vouch for this) May yours go well.

| Super Moderator | Say, Heidi, would you care to post your experience in losing in your own thread in the Non Op forum? I'm sure your experience will help many who are looking for options other than WLS. For everyone, the ultimate goal is to develop a healthy life style and learn to make healthy food choices.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Welcome Heidi. No plastics here yet either. I'm celebrating my first re-birthday 4/27/06. So far I've lost 95 lbs. and I forget how many inches. I'm so thrilled when I hear of anyone losing big without surgery. Hooray for you.
