Wonder if BCBSTX will cover TT or panni, and what qualifications would I need? I've had lots of skin irritation, but doctor didn't take any pics of it. I've had two c-sections and WLS. Any thoughts? :)

Call them up. Some will cover if there is a medical reason. IE rashes from skin rubbing on skin etc. When you find out, please let me know! I have BCBS TX as well.

Your doctor would have to submit medical documentation of all the skin irritations/rashes you've had from skin on skin & its determined on a case by case matter. Pictures wouldn't be necessary, just medical documentation for the insurance company to review. (My husband is giving me this info as I'm typing to you ~ haha....he doesn't work in TX tho, he works for BCBS Michigan.)

He gave me an example of breast reduction surgery....he said as long as the doctor submits documentation that the patient needs this surgery due to back pain, then they cover a procedure that is normally deemed as cosmetic.

      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?

      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! 😞
