Livsmom- how did you get insurance to cover your Tummy Tuck?

Well, I followed pretty much the same procedure I followed to get my VSG covered. First I called the insurance company and found out what their requirements were to have it covered. I have 2 insurances (one through my work and one through my husbands). My husband's plan wouldn't cover it no matter what. My plan covered it given you meet the following: (1) be 18+ months post op, (2) have a surgeon submit photographs, (3) have 4+ months of medical records showing tried and failed medical treatments to treat the issues that the skin is causing. I had my PCP work with me on documenting things for several months, then I went to the surgeon to have the photos, then the surgeon submitted everything. It was approved within a couple of weeks. :-)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
