Guest guest Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 My name is Michele Maldonado and I am new to the group. I had my Open RNY on October 17th, 2002 in Ames, Iowa with Dr Hardy. I started out at 310 and have lost 150 pounds. Having gastric bypass surgery was the best thing that I have ever done for myself. I am having the belt lipectomy surgery in Iowa City on April 15th. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. My insurance company would only pay for the abdominpolasty, so I must pay the difference. I am curious if anyone has had any luck getting their arms and thighs covered. My insurance company (BLue Cross/Blue Shield PPO) has denied them saying that they were cosmetic in nature only. Any advice would be appreciated. Look forward to reading your posts. Michele M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
