TP1

What extra charge/fee, after the insurance covered portion, did you have to pay for the vertical incision part of the TT, ultimately making it a Fleur De Lis? My surgery is in December. I was told that the vertical incision was not covered, nor was the compression garment. I was also told that I wouldn't be satisfied with a regular TT or panniculectomy because I would still be left with a lot of skin above my belly button (muffin top) and that I had a lot of vertical laxity as well as horizontal. Note: $65 of this charge is going for a surgical bra for a breast reduction in May of 2015. It was also stated by the PS that the two procedures be split up. Has anyone else paid this amount? I'm wondering if this is a normal amount to be charged after my insurance has been applied? Thanks:-)

So full of emotions right now

If your not required by the surgeon to have a sleep study, but later on initiated a study on your own and was told you have very mild sleep apnea and given a choice by the PCP to schedule a titration appt., Or to go head and have the surgery as treatment . Will my surgery be refused or cancelled, if I didn't choose a titration appt? My PCP kept stating it shouldn't be a problem, and she doesn't 't see why I wouldn't be able to go forward with the surgery.

Thanks Miss Mac:-)

Does anyone have BCBS? Did BCBS cover the PATS testing? I currently have BCBSM.

Does anyone know if the PATS testing covered by BCBSM?

Hello, Congrats :-). Describe the pain if any? Did you require a drain and catheter? Who was your surgeon? Where was your procedure performed? How do you feel now happy, relieved, etc? Thanks:-)

That would, really be neat AtlantaRed:-)

I have started to follow some of the healthier eating patterns that we'll have to adhere to after the surgery. I found an online store that has a great selection. BariatricChoice.com offers a lot of incentives and reward credits. You will receive $20 off your order of $40 or more. It is a secure site . I was able to get $20 off my first purchase of $40 or more. You immediately begin saving and can get more for your money. You will also receive $20 in reward credits for anyone you refer that orders from bariatricchoice.com. I ordered the 2lb canister of Roadside Lemonade Syntrax nectar Protein drink and the Ostrim Natural beef sticks, and Chocolite bars and instantly received my $20 off plus free shipping. My grand total after the credit was $36.36. For everything.. Anyone who knows about the Syntrax Nectar, knows it $36.99 by itself. So I'm extending a referral to anyone that wants to order from them. You will not be disappointed. Just go to: https://www.bariatri...efer/id/112948/ and use the referral code: 8696996

Has there been anyone who had children, started around 280 or more and didn't need excess skin removal?

Hello. Is there anyone out there who started at about 280 or more that didn't need excess skin removal?
