Journey beginnings and early concerns

I’m only in the beginning stages of my year long pre- surgery stage. I called my insurance company today (required by surgeons office) to discuss my coverage. A few things I learned is that they only cover one surgery per lifetime so I need to choose wisely which surgery to go with. They also told me that skin removal is not covered, period. Not even apron removal. What has everyone used to help with loose skin and elasticity issues? I know genetics plays a huge role here and I know I’ve been given a crap hand in that department so I’m looking for ideas I can start now to help my skin heal prior to surgery.

Hi! Most likely it will come down to what the Surgeon/You both agree is best, what is physically possible and best for your particular situation. Take their advice very seriously but advocate for yourself and seek info out too.
