HEy, insurance really doesnt, it is actually becoming harder and harder and even more impossible for insurance to cover it. I mean it literally has to be like life threatening. This means that the rash has to be getting infected and you have to have like 6 months of documentation that you have tried many different things to help it. I have done a ton of research and talking to doctors both pastic surgeons, general physicians, dermotologists, and even the group of doctors that did my lap band. It is soo very hard.

YOu look unbelievable! I am down 125 exactly too. I just need to emove all this excess skin. Did you have drains put it, people are saying thats the worst part? Seriously COngrats. You look soooo stunning! GORGEOUS!

Thank you <3

I do appreciate that and im not offended. Im actually low maintenance, but i nooooo i look high maintenance, thats only bc im tall and blonde haha and do like to look nice. I am lucky enough to have my parents helping but thats only bc they do not want me taking out a loan and paying interest. I just paid my last semester of my masters out right, so that was all my savings. I def want a guy to like me for me and i feel this tummy thing is inhibiting me from finding a guy that i want to be with. and thats bc if a really attractive man starts to date me i put a wall up so he never gets to the point where we are intimate in fear he will feel it. WIth a less attractive guy i dont care. And i no that sounds bad and its my own demons, but i want to be with someone i am not only attracted to but i have a great bond with and this tummy thing is just killing me in that department. I thank you for being realistic. As much as im not high maintenance, bc i dont get my nails done, i dont have anything expensive, and i do bust my ass for what i have, i do like to look good. I will keep you posted.

Thank you for getting bak to me!! that is amazing! PLEASE keep me posted! I am going to go look at the pictures I was told i couldnt stand up straight for a week and Im super nervous about getting back to work after i have it.

So, I am 26 and have lost 120 pounds with the lap band. I have kept the weight off for years and work out 6-7 days a week for 1- 2 hours very high intense work outs. I have not had kids and i will be having a tummy tuck in 3 weeks. I am nervous for 1 reason alone and that is when i decide to have kids one day. but i can not live with this on my body anymore. It is a sagging apron in front of my body and its keeping me from getting intimate with any guy yet alone start a relationship. I also would love to here anyones stories and how the recovering process went. My doctor said that i probably wont need my muscles tightened. Any stories would be appreciated. if you are young like me.. dont have kids.. or had a kid after a tummy tuck PLEASE share!!!
