You all are quite fortunate to have the opportunity for these surgeries covered. I live in the United States and have pretty decent health care coverage through my employer, but my insurance would never pay for elective surgery. I've wanted a tummy tuck since I was 23 and gave birth... almost 18 years ago. It costs about $10,000 here. :sigh:
What are the requirements to have the surgery? I mean, do they require you to be at a certain height-weight ratio or bmi, and then maintain that for 6 months or a year?
What is the recovery time before one can move without assistance, go back to work that requires standing, etc...?
Thank you for your input. I wish you all the best on getting the surgery and recovery.
