Give me a REASON for abdominoplasty!!

[Guest guest]

" Give me a REASON for abdominoplasty...and make it good " was pretty

much the word I got from my insuror. I can appreciate them not

wanting to spend more money on me...but, since they continue to

extract a huge amount from me as a small business owner with wife and

self as insureds ($1100 per month!)...damn it, I want my tummy tuck

to finish this lifestlye change started almost 39 months ago.

Dermatologic issues appear to be something of a winner here. I could

truly appreciate some suggestions on those successful enough to have

a dermotologic issue that went through the insurance group to cover

this procedure. Opinions, ideas and pronouncements solicited,

cajoled and entertained....either here or private email.

Thanks!!

There's lots of good documentation of these issues and letters to

insurers and others in the Yahoo! Group called OSSG-plasticsurgery. I

really recommend that you join this group (and also anyone else who is

researching or recovering from plastics). There are almost 1800 people

there, so there's a fair bit of collective wisdom.

My issue was chronic backaches. Well-documented over a several-year

period by my PCP. LOMN from my PCP and from the plastic surgeon

worked on that basis.

YMMV,
