Sorry for my ignorance and I'm not trying to offend anyone when I ask this, but if you are still reaching for your weight loss goal, why would you do a TT now while you are still trying to lose weight? Or would you just get another one done later? I know I need one and just looking to see what others have done/are doing.

I can only speak for myself, but because I've lost over 200 pounds and my tummy apron is so big it interferes with my daily activity. Plus, I have some rather large hernias that need to be fixed so my doctor is doing it all at once.

My doc says with the amount of weight I still have to lose, as long as I work to keep my tummy tone it will shrink right along with me.

I had my pics taken on Monday and I'm scheduled for surgery on May 1st.

So... I am assuming they're not anticipating any approval problems between now and then.

Which insurance

Which insurance

Medicare. I exceed their requirements.

It seems most require a weight loss of 100 pounds, documented skin rashes, and/or for the tummy apron to hang below the pubic line.

Of course there are variations but those are the most common requirements

Interesting thread...

I wonder if my BCBS will approve this if I lose 100 lbs

This is done under general anesthesia I assume?

What is the pubic line? I think I can guess what it is, but a quick google search didn't confirm my suspicion

Thats what I figured :)

I'm thinking of doing this surgery (I already have some skin hanging by my lower abdomen, but I'm deathly afraid of general anesthesia :o :o :o )

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
