I just got great news, BCBS TX will approve my TT after I've had my band for 6 months! Although I was only approved because I had a C-Section, I'm thrilled that the procedure has been approved and will take care of one of my most stubborn areas! Woo hoo!

wonderful news..... happy happy joy joy ... for you

Ooo Good news! I am starting up a plastic surgery fund for myself! Just in case!

Wow! Good for you!

That's awesome. You may want to wait a bit though until you've lost all you wish to lose and have maintained so you get as much loose skin off you can. By the way, I heard at my LB support meeting last night that you can donate the skin they remove. I never knew that but they use it for burn victims. I think it's a great way to give back.

Oh wow! I love that idea and will definitely make sure the surgeon does that!!!

Thanks so much!

Fortunately, I can't do it until after December 19th and according to my friends and family, I should only aim to lose another 10-15lbs. I would also like to address my arms at the same time, so I need time to save for that. I'm giving myself a goal of 12-18 months from now.

Hope insurance pays for mine, with a pacemaker, because all the weight that I have lost again is pulling on me machine and it hurts.

Hope mine pays, I have a pacemaker and it is weighting down on it, its pulling it.

That's GREAT! I have BCBS of IL I'm going to start doing some research to see if they will cover mine when I get closer to goal!

I have federal BCBS of georgia I wonder if it will pay for mine if I need it because I'm 24 will be 25 in January...but won't lose all I need to lose probably for another year or so. I figure since I'm so young they won't but the biggest part of my body is my stomach. What are some of the criteria y'all had to meet to get it approved?

I have bcbs tx too and have had a c section... I was wondering why or how this got it approved? I haven't even looked into it cuz I just didn't think it would happen... Thanks for the hope!

Ok you really peaked my curiosity, how does the c-section and tt relate?

Congrats on getting the TT too!
