Yay! Very exciting

Of course I'm excited! I'm so happy insurance approved for abdomen, mons and inner thighs! I'm half-self pay for the lower body lift so to say (IMO that's ok - if you want premium and not standard you should pay for the difference in price yourself). However, sick leave and anesthesia and hospital stay is covered by insurance and that's very important.
Breast and upper arms: there is still appeal going on but it doesn't really stress me out right now because it will be minimum 6-9 months before it would come to the third surgery anyway. Most important thing is that insurance will pay for the stuff that's bothering me the most. My inner thighs don't exactly chafe but the touch of the loose skin when walking when not wearing tight pants that provide a bit of compression is a really unpleasant feeling. It's very... weird. Hooray for running skirts when it gets hot again in summer!

Scared but maybe a little excited too? I think my mommy makeover was almost 6hrs. I’m always amazed by the endurance of surgeons and their teams.

It's a 6 h surgery and tbh - I'm pretty scared.

Congratulations!

Useful video. Some patients seem to feel the need for "repentance for past sins" by suffering.

Should be a sticky. Same with Dr. Weiner's video on changing portion sizes after surgery. It's unbearable how so many teams don't seem to educate their patients that growing portion sizes are normal?!

Hopefully, yes.
However, even if not - the procedures that matter most to me (abdomen, mons and thighs) are covered. I'm partly self-pay because of wanting a lower body lift but since the surgery is partly covered I can get a normal sick leave for work (instead of using vacation days) which is a very important thing.
Appeal regarding breasts and arms will take time again. However, with two surgeries ahead, including the big lower body lift - it will take about a year before this becomes relevant again anyway, I guess. 😊
Hopefully you're fine with the pandemic and all?

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Very interesting!

Big Congratulations!!!! I need a consult 😝

Congratulations 💐

Hoping it all goes smoothly!

Congratulations ♥️

That's exciting!

Wow, again? Hopefully it doesn't affect you directly.

Yes, PH department was just like "Well, no quarantine for you, go back to work!" - yeah, the hell I won't with an infection of the respiratory tract. I'm on sick leave until the end of the week per my GP (waiting for the paper to arrive with mail as they don't want you to come in in person if possible).
Hospital is a bit more cautious than PHD and didn't press me to come back tomorrow. They suspect recent unnoticed infection and wanted me to come in today for drawing blood for antibody testing. So now I'm stalking my labs for the results from home via VPN-client.

Get Well Soon ♥️

Sounds great! Especially the big balcony

It looked very good when I took a look at it on Monday. Big kitchen, both a shower and a bath tub! Big balcony.

Congratulations 🎉

Not weird 😃

Wow 😮 cheers to moving on to bigger and better things

Yes, I resigned today but even given the fact that everyone knew I would only be a 3-year add on and given the fact that I'm staying 3 months longer than originally planned... it was still a weird feeling to hand in that piece of paper this morning.
I will miss quite a few people a lot.
