    Don't know about the location, but if you do a search on "loose skin" on this forum you'll find ton of info about that and if you check out the regional forums you might also find some folks on the east coast that can help you.

    My insurance will pay for a tummy tuck after i lose to my goal weight ..only if I have skin irration or rashes or like boils which it has already started but it has to be noted by your physcians

    ~ doesn't think she'll ever reach her original weight, no matter HOW hard she tries. Hell, let's face it, 8lb 10oz is not very realistic is it?

    Hi!!! I finally found someone local!!! WOOOHOOOO!!! I am a patient of dr kwon in middletown, ny....what insurance do you have....I have bcbs and they pay for part or all of the tummy tuck depending on your condition. I know that there is a chance of it being medically nessasary if you have skin rashes, but it has to be documented by your dr. (I normally just put desitin on it and it goes away).....good luck!
