    Ok, I am finally getting brave enough to put my new midsection online. This is 9 months after surgery. I do love it-wish I could do my arms and legs but insurance would never cover it...

    I had to have documentation of rashes for 6 months, and I met the other qualifications like keeping the weight off for a year. I had to pay for the abdominoplasty, but they paid for the panniculectomy.
