I'm using Dr. Nicholson as the Baylor Hospital in Plano is a center of excellence for my insurance. I have met him a couple of times and he seems very good, I got approval in just a few hours. I was amazed, I was ready for a big battle and there wasn't any! His staff is awesome! Today is day 1 of my pre-op diet, will have my sleeve May 17. I'm starting a little early as I am anxious to start loosing, didn't seem right to binge all week.

In order for an insurance company to pay for plastic surgery it has to meet certain medical necessity criteria. If there are associated health issues, rashes refractory to treatment and the pannis is below the pubic area, back pain for breast reduction and a certain amount of tissue to be removed, they will pay. Just needs to be medically necessary and not cosmetic.

yep, need to drink that water!!!

Thank all of your for your insight. My surgery date is May 17 and so far I have only told my grown children and a couple of close friends. Most are supportive and want to see how mine goes to see if they want the surgery too!! I do remember hearing these comments about a co-worker a few years ago, all behind her back. Women are so catty, I just remember how great she looked when she lost her weight. Everyone was jealous.
