  1. It’s been 4 years since I’ve posted !!!
  2. Keep fighting. Your bmi alone should have you approved revision or not! Maybe escalate it to the medical director of the insurance company and hopefully they reconsider. Also try getting more than one letter of medical necessity like from your pcp and surgeon but I've read the peer reviews always succeed. Good luck to you !!!! foreverbariatric Sent from my GalaxyNote4 using the App

    kudos to you! i do the same on the elliptical. check out my post http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/59538-2-week-post-op-woohoo/#entry571077
  12. i love those comparison pics you look great. congrats girl
  13. ok so i dont have that great of insight on this but i will try. lol i had a c section as well and my father tried to drill into my head to wear a belly band. i never did. my friend however did and she looks AMAZING. you could not even tell she had a baby at all and everything is tucked in so nicely. im only 1 week post op and im going to my brothers wedding in a few days so i have to get some spanx. which i plan to wear daily. i am going to buy 2 sizes down as well because i no longer have incision pain. well i do but its minimal. i think they help alot with keeping things in and formed lol. i only have one example of this working but hey why not try. i was watching those as seen on TV commercials and i wanna get the tummy tuck one. my friend swears by it as well. but i def have to push myself into some spanx this saturday in order for my dress to look decent lol
