  2. I'm 4 year this July. I lost 83 need another 15. Well I been eating bad. Gained 15. My clothes feel tight and I don't like it. It's hard changing eating when your grocery shopper buy junk. I truly believe if I can get a cooking class of health foods I can get back on track. I cook with salt n pepper. Boring!
  3. Long time off line. How did your surgeries go? I'm thinking of having them done now. Your thoughts?
  4. I'm thinking of going to mx for arm surgery. Your thoughts?
  5. I documented rashes and got rx creams dr visits etc for 18 months. Insurance paid panini removal only. I paid for the upgrade to full tummy tuck. Love the results but the bill after was not what was written and I ended up paying $7k over the insurance payment. Didn't realize this til after surgery.

  11. Hello!! Yes I came to terms that you need to think ahead 15 mins. Took 3 months to figure it out. Lol. Stop eating cause in 15 mins it will hit your tummy. I am 5 dpo from TT.
  12. Hello I'm 23 months out and going I. For TT June 11th. Down 70 pounds. Was 83 but slid from not paying attention. Back on track.
  13. Need question answered ASAP. Those that had ins pay for panni. What $ portion did ins pay vs you? I know there is a wide variable but I just signed up for panni ett and had to pay up front even though letter from ins approving it.
  14. Any pics yet Mary? I went to pre op today and having hiccups on fees. My ins approved panni and the doctor wants paid up front $7500 with another $2000 after ins pays. The original agreement was $7500 cash then ins reimburse for the coveted portion I get reimbursed. Somewhere a miscommunication. Anyone know how much the normal panni procedure costs?
  15. I had documented and pics of rashes. They denied prior to pics, but overturned when pics shown. They too will pay panni only. I'm paying for the TT upfront and I'm to be reimbursed after. Makes me think if anyone has had an issue with ins paying for the panni after the patient upgrade.
  16. My ins will pay for panni got my approval letter. Doc wants me to may up front for TT w muscle repair. I will get reimburse whatever the ins pays them. Have you ever heard of ins not paying for the panni portion if I then do a full TT?
  17. Mary. Do you have pics? I fought my denial and won for panni. Surg june11th. Do you have idea what $ amount they paid?
  18. I'm having fdl on June 11th outpatient. Surgical unit with hospital 3 blocks away. Can't wait:-)
