Skin removal surgery? Help!

Hi everyone! Wondering if any of you have had these surgeries, if so, after what amount of weight loss...what type? Are you happy with it? Pics (if that's not to personal)? I've lost a lot, (over 200) and am concerned about it... also what (if any) did insurance cover?? Thanks in advance..I know it's super personal. .

I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair at 1 year post opt .i have lost 119 pounds and I love the new me . My insurance covered 100 percent of everything .

I am at 120 lbs lost but my insurance will not cover any of it because my "apron" does not hang low enough.

What's the required length? That's an odd requirement... :s

According to my plastics Dr... it needs to be covering all of the pubis area..basically that would make it on me reachibg upper mid thigh.

I have no skin issues with redness or rashes.. i feel that if you have to wear support garments (spanks,etc..) to keep the skin from slapping everytime to move ...insurance should need to cover it.
