Getting skin removal surgery covered overall is difficult as insurances have to consider it as elective, cosmetic surgery.(I know. That's ridiculous.) I've lost 100+lbs and I've looked in to this myself. <br /> First, I would encourage you to contact your ins. company, ask them what the policy is or where on their website you can review the policy for this and what the precert process is. Also, consider that each employer when they purchase insurance has the ability to refine what they want to be covered or not covered, so you could also check with your HR dept.<br /> If a person if having repeated skin infections and irritations under the skin folds they should be seeing their doc to try to get it treated (as well as having it documented over time for the precert processes). Sometimes parts of the surgery can be covered if repeated skin infections persists and no progress is made with treatment. I know that some people go in to a surgical procedure that is covered by the insurance and they pay out of pocket for the parts of the surgery that the insurance doesn't cover. Also, photos of the skin irritations might be helpful if the insurance precert process requires photos. If your doctor orders the surgery and checks with insurance for authorization and it is denied you can appeal the decision. Finally, I live in Atlanta and many of the Djs here do advertisements for plastic surgeons after having work done (I'm sure at a reduced costs.)...I'm not sure this is common everywhere, but it seems like half of the DJs at a couple of stations advertise having multiple procedures / lazer hair removal / etc. <br />Good luck when you are ready. sounds closePJ Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16550278783075004470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-83339959567355345282010-01-11T18:11:22.769-06:002010-01-11T18:11:22.769-06:00I really like how your whole family is involved bu...I really like how your whole family is involved but you are not pushing your daughters. Everyone does have to make the choice to do this on their own, no doubt! Also breakfast is key! I have been doing all of this for awhile fairly isolated. I have never met anyone in person who has taken off over 100 lbs like I have and finding this world of bloggers is amazing as far as a resource of like minded of people who have been there and done that.xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12346245087447662377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-61175327113054841662010-01-11T15:57:05.877-06:002010-01-11T15:57:05.877-06:00Amazing!
