I had a hysterectomy Feb.10th and I got an infection from the excess skin hanging. I didn't get my tummy tuck before or at the same time because I am not a year out. But know my OBGYN seems to think that insurance will pay for it because this is now a health issue. They have had to go back in and reopen my inscion from the hsterectomy, so now I have an open wound that has to be packed on a daily basis for the next six weeks. I have currenlty lost 160lbs. Has anyone ever heard of the insurance company approving it before a year out??? ay nyone help??

Thanks for lisitng to my problems

My insurance wasn't interested  in a time span, just the amount of skin to be removed.  Check your policy, although your physician is an excellent resource. If he says it's a go, wait & see what happened when he submits the paperwork.
