I had my PS consultation today which had been canceled last week by the Dr due to him having the flu. I have only been nervous like this one other time in my life and no it was not my wedding day. I was so nervous I was shaking and had tears in my eyes. :'( I have not been naked in front of anyone since I have lost the 278 pounds and today I stood in front of 2 people as the Dr had his nurse with him. Not only was I completely naked but pictures were taken from all kinds of angles. He congratulated me on the weight loss and said I was an excellent candidate. If the insurance denies me he will fight to be sure I get this excess skin removed. The Dr and I agreed a breast lift and nipple regrafting should be the first of 4 surgeries we should try to get approval. So now I sit and wait for insurance to approve it. The waiting can be anywhere from 2 to 10 weeks. The Dr said for me to keep on trying to lose weight and doing my exercise so I am as thin as I can be for the surgery. I cried when he said I was a good candidate at where I am now but thinner is always better. I was afraid I would have to wait until I got to my goal. However he agreed getting all this skin off my breasts will help my back and maybe I could even walk again without the back surgery. What a wonderful thing that would be if I could walk again without back surgery.
