THE TUMMY TUCK FOR SURE AND THE BREAST LIFT I'M THINKING ABOUT BECAUSE THE GIRLS ARE HANGING A LITTLE LOW AND I'M JUST BEGINNING MY WEIGHT LOSS! LOL! MY INSURANCE WILL COVER THEM BOTH AFTER A YEAR OF MY VERTICAL SLEEVE. I AM SOOOOO LOVING THIS NEW TOOL!!!

How do you know your insurance will cover them?  What did you say to have them do that?

IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY WILL COVER.  GIVE THEM A CALL AND THEY WILL LET YOU KNOW. ALSO TALK WITH YOUR SURGEON. MY SURGEON HAS A PLASTIC SURGEON THAT HE WORKS WITH SO I WAS ALREADY INFORMED OF THE PLASTIC SURGERY DURING MY CONSULTATION PROCESS FOR THE VERTICAL SLEEVE.

I'm right there with ya...Its no point stepping half way lol. To the person above you can call your insurance co and inquire about plastic surgery after weight loss surgery and see what they cover. It varies for insurance to insurance.

How was the tummy tuck, that's the one that worried me the most. However, I'm still going to have it done. My surgeon (bariatric doctor) says I would need a mini tummy tuck and my scaring wouldn't be bad.

To jennygalthin n, I'm a slow loser myself and sometimes I get a little frustrated. However, I can't think of any diet, weight loss pill, B-12 injection, slim fast, etc.... that has give me the results that I'm having with my sleeve. Your doing great, we are ROCKING OUR SLEEVE!!!!
