Year out tummy tuck covered by bcbs

Started 390 ,240 today

Well was sleeved Feb 3 2014, Dr office called and asked if I was interested in a tummy tuck. What the hell went in and had my surgery yesterday with Dr Dinick in Michigan. Lost 140 total ,he took 7 lbs of skin, thought it would hurt more but surprisingly it doesn't. I do have a high pain tolerance. Now to relax and get ready for vacation in may!

    I am in the process of waiting for my insurance to cover mine. I will be going for the vertical. I will take some curves over a scar any day!

    Did you already try, and then appeal? I would appeal until I can appeal no more!

    The doctor did try for approval, but my pannis doesn't hang low enough (insurance said mid groin) and no rashes or infections so they denied. Don't have much basis to appeal.
