Has anyone had a fat transfer from one part of their body inserted somewhere else? Wondering about experiences? Thinking about having fat transferred from my hips area to either my breasts or butt... Thanks!
Oye, 10 weeks later? That is a lot! Hopefully, everything goes well! I really can't wait to see your results! Best wishes!
I go in Monday for my extended TT and arms! I'll let you know how it goes!

Had my last pre-surgery visit on Friday and the surgeon wants to do a 360 but the extra out of pocket in a no go. So, extended TT and arms are going to be done then depending how that goes 10 weeks later he'll do my thigh lift! My husband is staying the first week of both surgeries to help me in and out of bed/couch until I can be on my own. I'm super nervous and extremely excited at the same time!!

OOOHHHH! that's great! Can't wait to see how things progress!
CONGRATS! I called my insurance company and there is no way insurance will pay for any plastic surgery... kinda makes me sad
Well I talked to Anthem and was told two different things. One rep said surgeon and surgery location could be changed immediately and another rep said first surgeon would have to withdraw request and new surgeon would have to submit their own request but it shouldn't take more than 15 calendar days. Just posting in case anyone else ever has same question.
Hey everyone! Has anyone changed surgeons after being approved by insurance? I was approved for panniculectomy by Anthem back in September but still haven't been scheduled because my surgeon is having trouble getting surgery dates from hospital. I'm thinking about switching surgeons. Would other surgeon have to submit a new approval request or could the provider just be changed on existing approval? Anthem member services not in on weekends but I'm calling first thing tomorrow. I'm just curious if anyone has had experience with this.
yea i had the "surgery" 3 days ago, very little pain, plastic surgeon who in my opinion is the best in the state took off 5 lbs of loose skin, insurance covered it, i was eating salmon and brocolli in the recovery room and went home the next day. i am sore and have drains and the wrap around my body and am on lifting restrictions for 6 weeks but this surgery was so much easier than the RNY. i had it at a big medical center and got top notch care. would do it again in a heart beat!
