RE: [GastricBypassVanderburghIN] tummy tuck

Thanks for that information.  I would feel weird without my belly button, lol.   I’d have to tattoo one on if I had that done, LOL!  I’m not sure I have enough “apron” to do that.  I still have some fat in mine, I think.  I have wanted to go to a plastic surgery but it cost $100 just to talk to them.  Then I know my insurance won’t pay unless I have had a rash for at least 3 months.   I’m not sure what to do about it.

D'Ann,

I told you I'd let you know what I found out about a tummy tuck.  I went to Vanderbilt today.  My medicare will only pay for the pinn?--it's where they cut off the "apron", pull it down and sew it together.  They remove your belly button and don't replace it.  Cost $25,000-30,000.  Medicare only pays less than $800.

The tummy tuck is not covered at all by medicare.  That includes removing the apron, tightening the muscles and working on the midriff.  You also get your belly button replaced.  Cost $8030 and they work out a payment schedule.  This includes everything except meds. 

It is same day surgery so you go home that night.

I'm going to check the cost locally since it's all out of pocket.

I got the packet yesterday from Dr. Conkright. It said on one of the papers that some docs performing cosmetic surgery have no formal surgical training. They...
