He reveals exactly how to document skin rashes, pain, and functional issues to get insurance approval. We also dive deep into the strict safety limits of staging surgeries, why any procedure over 6 hours drastically spikes your risk of blood clots or infections, and the honest reality of pain management for a lower body lift.
