I'm a week post body lift/tummy tuck. I am feeling pretty good. The pain was intense for the first few days. I have four drains in and still fill them up with fluid. I expect them to be in for a few weeks at least. The results so far are amazing, though. They took off 15 lbs of skin/fat. All insurance covered. I'll be looking at an arm lift in about 6-8 weeks.

You look fantastic -- congratulations!!! And 15#s, holy cow!

WOW! Such a big difference! Congrats!

Awesome!! Congratulations!! You must feel fantastic!!

Is insurance paying for your arm lift also?

No. That one is self-pay. But the big one they covered, and that's what I'm happy with!

Wow! You look amazing. What did you need to do to get it covered?

You look amazing already!!!

(Can I ask what you before and after stats?)

Absolutely amazing! Glad your feeling well!

You look INCREDIBLE!

We have very similar 'before' bodies, so if you don't mind me asking, HOW did you get insurance to cover it?

I just got a $30k quote from a surgeon for a circumferential lift, so I'm feeling a little discouraged.

I'm speechless! I'm also so jealous of your procedure. Can I ask where you had it done and cost?

You look fabulous!!! Congratulations!!!

My bariatric surgeon documented my rashes with each appointment and I took pics for six months. I also had back pain noted as well. All of that was sent to my plastics guy and they took their own photos and submitted.
