not yet - but he's on my short list. I want to schedule a couple more consults, though, so he may get a call.... (I hope to schedule these next week - I don't want to sit on this much longer!!)

Thanks for your responses. It's been a while since I've been on. I've had a complete (full-open) hysterectomy (unplanned), a breast reduction and a revision since my last post.

I did receive my approval for my belly lift and surgery is scheduled. I was able to get insurance to cover it so I am SO grateful. I cannot wait to get rid of these rolls of skin!

Not necessarily. Each insurance rider has a different policy. In can have United Health Care and it won't cover it because the rider my employer purchased denies any reconstructive surgery (and specifically due to excessive weight loss) for any reason. Only reconstruction they do is after a mastectomy. While you may also have UHC but the rider your employer chose may include that for specific reason.

Each person needs to get a full copy of your insurance documents and read thru them to determine if reconstructive surgery is included or excluded.

He didn't. Hmmm.

Did he prescribe you anything other than the scopolamine patches for nausea? I got Zofran and it was absolutely required beyond my time in the hospital. Especially when you're also on Narcotics that can cause additional nausea.
