Some....my surgeon will be removing the excess skin around my middle next June. Tricare only covers that, so I am working on my arms!

They are covering mine. Has to do with the excess skin and how it affects my quality of life. Since I still have a lit of excess skin, I have to check it constantly for rashes, wash it very carefully, make extra sure it's dry, lift it to clean, etc...Thus making my quality of life harder.

I have Tricare too, how many times did the doctor have to document your rashes. What exactly are they covering? Just the apron?

I'm not sure. He checks all my loose skin at each visit (every 3-4 months).....he checks my stomach and the apron. He has said that he will remove all abdominal loose skin including the apron. Tricare will not cover the arms (which is stupid) because that doesn't affect quality of life. As far as rashes, because of the extra skin, it's as if I had never lost weight. Very frustrating!
