Tummy Tuck and C Section Cut and Financing



Recommended Posts

I have a bikini c section cut. It looks just like a crease but how does this work when I want to get a Tummy Tuck. Will there be a problem? Also we have something called Care Credit for those who cant afford to pay for the surgery all at once here in Chicago. I dont know if this is all over but what other ways can I finance it. Did insurance by any chance cover you guys. (Fat Chance I know, but I wanted to still ask)

I can't answer all your questions, but I do know that there are insurances that will pay for plastic surgery if it is deemed medically necessary. All you need to do is call your insurance to find out if they cover it if it is "medically necessary". Then find a good qualified surgeon that takes your insurance, and then they can answer your questions about the C-section. Good luck I hope this helps. Oh ask your insurance if you need a referral too.

My insurance will cover a Tummy Tuck an breast redution if deemed necessary- My doctor just needs to document if I have rashed where my belly sags and bak problems from my breast being too big for my size. He has been documenting the rashes I have been getting from being overweight for over a year now, so hopefully when it is time it will all go through :)

      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.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
