Hello all! I'm new to this board but curious to know if anyone on here has been approved for lower body lift after WLS? I'm 8 years out, down 200+ lbs. I tried once before but denied, curious how to try again? I know some people have been approved....

I had my panni surgery covered by MB Health a year post op Gastric bypass. My surgeon was Dr.Karl. Norh in Medicine Hat AB. He did both procedures and took care of all my paperwork. I even got reimbursed for flight. I drove however, so ended up paying for my escort and I to travel by car, stay in hotel and eat all for less then cost flight for us both. Now I'm looking for lower body lift. Know of one other woman who had it covered, but lost contact with her and how she challenged MB Health and won.

Hey there, I was approved by MB Health and will be going for surgery soon. Generally they will approve you if you have had skin rashes/breakdown and such under your tummy fold
