Hello all, I was told that some places (maybe Stratx) will do the tummy tuck for all the bariatric patients compliments of our insuance. I couldnt believe what i was hearing from her but apparently she has done her homework. I had my surgery on Oct. 1st, so i have ways to think about that. I just wanted to let everybody know so that they can inquire if interested.:tongue2:

You have to have a significant amount of skin for this to work, but a friend that had bariatric surgery had a tummy tuck done free of charge at a hospital that specializes in burn patients. They use the skin for grafting. I figure what the heck. All that excess skin might as well go for some good. I don't know the requirements as far as how much skin etc. but when I get to that point I am going to look into it.

oh great, thanks a lot.
