hi all,i know after i lose on the band im gonna want a tummy tuck,anyone get there insurnace to pay for this?i have gotten alot rashes dr says like yeast under the girls oo ,and by insude of legs.the dr has given me special stuff to cure it but doesnt seem to go away.i bet they will get worse as i go.so i was wondering how to get insurance to cover either tummy tuck or remove some stomach skin?i saw drs here charge 5.000.anyone know if bcbs covers this lmk plz:tt1:

OK.. the main thing is to document all those rashes scripts and creams! take lots of pictures.

IF your insurance covers it, it will have to be proved medically necessary (like your band) and they will REQUIRE all that documentation and pics. So EVERYTIME you see someone for rash or skin breakdown DOCUMENT IT!

This is part of my problem.. I have the lose skin but no rashes or breakdown.... my insurance DOES cover skin removal but ONLY if medically neccessary........ I'm having my first consult tomorrow.

yeah im gonna take pictures of it,i see dr back in nov so ill mention it again,i know stuff she has given me hasnt helped.thanks for advice
