Getting approval: depends on what kind of insurance you have. I had a PPO and went to Dr Katzen who worked his magic and got the TT and Thighs approved.
Scars: The scars on my thinghs are crescent cut. If I wiggle down my swim suit bottoms you cant see them, but if they hike up or when Im wearing underwear they are always visible. These scars are much more noticeable, thicker, darker in color than my belly. But the skin is different than that of your belly as well.
I didnt have my arms done and I wont have them done. My skin isnt GOD AWFUL is loveable and althought the smack I keep hearing from the skin slapping my side is irritating and embarassing at times, things could be worse. I choose to keep my batwings. No my back/ass skin thats something I will be working on having removed in the future.... its awful, painful and downright uncomfortable and increasingly so as time passes.
I had 10 pounds of skin removed, and I wear a bikini without shame, and dont think I am too offensive looking in it... except in the part of my body where my booty belongs

What Sawyer would call me on LOST: ladybug
"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."
