Topic: RE: Denied Panniculectomy

I don't have a letter and I wish you luck on getting your approval! Do you have any rashes or other problems you could document?

Topic: Denied Panniculectomy

Hello All

I am trying to write up my appeal letter in regards to my surgery being denied for coverage. Is anyone willing to share their letters of appeal with me?

I was denied because my skin doesn't hang low enough, however I have had two c-sections and I believe that if it wasn't for that scar tissue it would hang way lower!!

I had RNY April 2018 and have been maintaining my weight (100lb loss) since December 2018

Any help or suggestion are appreciated!!

Topic: RE: Fat Transfers

I totally had the same questions about whether or not it stays! I have always been small chested (though, when I was significantly heavier, they were considered "large", then I had my daughter and then everything totally deflated. hoping the "more experienced" chime in!

Topic: RE: Fat Transfers

following (just because I'm interested). My surgeon asked if I wanted a fat transfer to my breasts for some "fullness", but I said no. I had big breasts my entire life and really wanted to be a B or C cup (which, thank God, I am now...). So...I passed. I wonder if the fat really stays in place, though - or if it eventually moves around...

Topic: Fat Transfers

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!
