Hi there ! I have scoliosis and fibromyalgia. Due to the skin on my hips it's causing my back to be that much worse. And I'm beyond my limit for pain. I'm to young for this and something needs to be done for some relief. Has anyone ever been able to get skin removal covered other then the panneculectomy?

Unfortunately OHIP only covers panni and sometimes breast reductions. Best advice is to see a plastic surgeon such as Dr Nandagopal who works with the wls population. If you qualify for panni you can always upgrade. First step is to see a surgeon that works with wls patients and OHIP. He has done all my contouring.
