    Hi I'm looking for a support friend who has been through gastric bypass. I'm from napa.

  2. Excess skin

    vanessa2006 replied to kagoodwin41's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
    I just read somewhere MEDICARE won't pay for skin removal for hernias or pain only for skin breakdown. And the skin has to be below the pubis and have lost 100 or more lbs. I need to start seeing the dr. But I'm not really having skin breakdown although I have in the past. It's more of a pain thing. It feels like its pulling away from my mesh from the multiple surgeries. Uhhgg

  3. Excess skin

    vanessa2006 replied to kagoodwin41's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
    I had my RNY in Dec. 2006. I lost 120 lbs in 6 months and have maintained it. Stated at 273 and now I am 153. I have had 2 hernia surgeries last year and mesh put in. I have a lot of excess skin on my abdomen. It hurts and pulls its impossible to run and with walking it hurts as well. My question is I have Medicare/ medicaid, I'm out on disability. Would my insurance cover this procedure?
