PLASITC SURGERY, BEFORE 18 MONS
Thank you Kanga,
You have given me ideas to help me. I would like to wait also. My whole tummy feels like it is trying to pull from my body, my back hurts, tummy and sides. Then the rash between my legs on my butt, drives me nuts some times. I been use the tight garments, but I think I am going to quit when I am around the house. You do not sound a bit gross to me. I feel we can all talk and be like family on here.
God Bless!

Have you tried Johnson's Baby Cornstarch? NOT baby powder... corn starch. I use it liberally every day on both areas and pretty much all over. It keeps any issues away.
Every once in a while I get a little spot and I use Desitin. That's like twice per year though. Cornstarch. I'm telling you. LOL

Hello I do not know what kind if insurance you have but I had my tummy tuck before 18 months. Mine was done at 16 months out. My insurance was changing so my surgeon turned in for my tummy tuck on my old insurance before it changed. It was covered but I had to show 6 months documentation about my rashes and infections. Best of luck.
Hi Val,
My ins does need 6 months of me documenting. They just need word from my Dr's for health reasons to remove my loose skin. It is my surgeon. The nurse is going to try to look in to it and see if they can't get around that. But do you know if I had this skin removed and I lose 25 more lbs would that mean more loose skin? My stomach has been so sore, it hurts around to my back, but no ra**** feels like my skin is going to drop off, my back hurts also. not to talk about my butt. lol
God Bless

I asked my surgeon if I was finished loosing weight he said it was up to me. That he would like to to loose 10 to 15 more lbs which I am trying to do. He said it will not show on my tuck but any more than that it would show. He said if I lost another 50 lbs it would show so much but if I did go and loose 50 more lbs he would kick my ass lol. I do not have your answer sorry. Only can tell you what mine told me. I would ask your surgeon about that. He should know the best.
