Thumbs up Insurance will pay for boobs if....

....you have documented pain (neck, shoulders, back, spine) and or chaffing/hygiene problems. Get it documented now from your primary, rheumatologist, orthopedic, gastric surgeon, etc.

Mine was paid in full just 3 weeks ago because of the well-documented pain and existing co-morbidities that the extra weight and poor posture was affecting (osteoarthritis, psoriatric arthritis, fibromyalgia).

Do the same with tummy tuck and thigh issues....skin rashes, chaffing, blistering, hygiene. The better documented the better the chance of having insurance pay for it as necessary and not cosmetic.

I think this is the only time I wish I had had a little bit more weight to loose. My deflated tummy and thighs don't have enough excess skin to cause rashes or anything, just enough to make me look old and baggy. The girls are pitiful but don't think there's any way to get them fixed either. LOL Guess I' stuck waiting to hit the lottery.

It helps those of us that are in the "thinking about it" stage.

Jeanie, if you're pregnant, that flat belly isn't going to last very long! I had twins the second time around and my belly looks like the rocky mountains. LOL

BTW, your baby is due on my birthday.
