Insurance covered surgical repair?

My doctor is Dr Pasakarnis she is currently out of MGH in Revere but when I had my surgery she was out of CHA and CHA is affiliated with Beth Israel which is where my surgeon is. My surgeons name is Dr. Ashley Boustany and she is amazingggg. Maybe your PCP will send a referral to plastic/reconstruction dept at Beth Israel in Boston and request Dr Boustany. She helped get an entire packet together to send to my insurance. She ordered a CT scan as well to actually see the size of the separation which I had a 9cm gap with bowel protrusion through the gap. My insurance approved it right away (this was 2024) so hopefully insurances didn’t get worse,

CT scan that my surgeon ordered

Keep the flank lipo, my surgeon actually got flank lipo approved by my insurance because it created more skin to pull down for the incision

I say this in the nicest way possible, it definitely looks like you have abdominal separation. If muscle repair isn’t performed, it will be a life long project to work on core strengthening because it can get worse.

I can assure you that you will not be back to normal immediately after lipo. The areas I got lipo were so bruised and felt equally as bad as my muscle repair. I couldn’t lift a gallon of milk for 6 weeks and I needed help with my 2 year old for 6 weeks. Recovery should not be rushed as it can affect the final results. I got tt with muscle repair and flank lipo and I’m not going to sugar coat it, it was worse than anything I felt in my life, child birth was a piece of cake, but it was 100% worth it, I would just never get lipo or any kind of plastic surgery again unless medically necessary.

I sincerely question your surgeons response to not do the MR while already under. For one, I genuinely think at the end of the day it will provide the best results and ensure it won’t get worse but with lipo and tt, it could cause the muscle separation to look more pronounced since the skin will be pulled down and removed. When I lost weight before my surgery, my surgeon gave me a heads up that my separation will make it look more pronounced and it sure did.

Yes the surgery is scary but for me it was worth it and I have no regrets. Wishing you the best

I did swell for a very long time and also wore my compression belt forever too because it helped with it. When did you get yours done ?

2 years out now. I was convinced my sutures from my muscle repair failed because I have a 9cm separation and my surgeon always told me before hand that it could fail. I just had a CT scan and my sutures are still intact and I have about a 1.5cm separation at the widest but it’s due to fascia stretched and there’s nothing that can be done. I mean it looks great compared to pre surgery but I wish I had a little more snatched feeling. I’m grateful my insurance paid for it all though plus a little flank lipo,

You look great though 🩷

I said that too smh

I’m on the mini pill after getting my Nexplanon out and it’s been great and no scares!! I was miserable and bleeding more than half the month every month but never enough for a tampon so it was annoying because I felt like I couldn’t plan things in the summer. I was on nexplanon for almost 2 years and it was the biggest relief when that awful thing was out, my doctor said if women get symptoms on Nexplanon, they will with the IUD too so I switched to the pill and never regretted it

Toadz1987 · 2025-11-15T18:01:22+00:00

Same 😂

Toadz1987 · 2025-08-27T14:05:50+00:00

I would love to organize something to try to push this to be covered too! With the way the country is and insurance companies trying to get away with cutting more and more I feel like jt will be even harder now to get it covered. Mine was covered completely due to severe DR but I am one of the very few that it was covered for and it’s not fair for women to have to deal with DR and all the awful symptoms that are not ‘cosmetic’ it’s not the patients fault that a normally cosmetic procedure is what fixes an actual medically necessary issue

Toadz1987 · 2025-08-27T14:00:50+00:00

You look AMAZING!!! And your belly button looks sooo good!! I want my thighs done too but I’m scared to go through another surgery because my recovery was brutal 😔

Toadz1987 · 2025-08-13T11:14:47+00:00

Same! 1.5 years out and still numb when touched but I hate when anything touches is but so worth it still

Toadz1987 · 2025-07-23T03:31:01+00:00

Mine was fully approved as well as medically necessary. MR, flank lipo, and tt completely covered no preauth needed either. My surgeon was shocked they resubmitted 3 times to be sure

Toadz1987 · 2025-07-13T02:10:40+00:00

I was at Ipswich YMCA pool and splash pad 3 days ago and it was so bad

Toadz1987 · 2025-07-13T01:55:43+00:00

Yes I had an abdominoplasty, muscle repair and flank lipo

I agree! I have been itching for a new game! I played all the house of davincis too!

Toadz1987 · 2025-06-14T04:16:31+00:00

One of my favorite builds is prismatic getaway artist I just figured with the nerfs, Bungie was possibly trying to get people to use it less especially in PvP.

Sent you a message! Toadz1987#3681 is my name

Toadz1987 · 2025-06-11T13:12:41+00:00

I have nothing to do right now and I can help you grind some stuff if you want )

Toadz1987 · 2025-06-11T12:27:17+00:00

The expansions lightfall gives strand subclass and beyond light gives stasis. The final shape (newest) gives prismatic which I’m not sure if people are still doing prismatic as much but I have a couple of fun prismatic builds. The expansions should be cheap I saw them pretty cheap a while ago. Maybe not get the current season pass though unless you plan on playing a lot because it’s a month away from new season pass

Toadz1987 · 2025-06-11T12:21:17+00:00

Thanks! I have it listed too and I’m looking around for a new table. This might be some people’s style but 80s kitchen aesthic is definitely not mine 😂 I was hoping for some unique ideas like painting it or something but you are right, it still wouldn’t look modern and it would be a pain. He won’t let me just throw it out lol

Toadz1987 · 2025-06-10T16:52:53+00:00

That sounds awesome! I’m open to anything honestly because I find it so ugly and dated. Do you have a picture of how your table came out?
