  3. Well i guess i can say i am not too worried about how soon i will be having sex. we can go a month without! haha!!
  4. :eek:What!! This is the second time I hear about a $4000 out of pocket exepense. I am going to make this a point when I meet with his PAC on Dec 18th. I did ask Melanie in an email, but she didn't respond with an answer...Hmmmm:sneaky:
  5. :wink_smile:Speaking of surgery! :thumbup:First off good luck!! I wish you a speady recovery and great outcomes! :thumbup: Second- what time time is your surgery scheduled for? :wink2: Anyone else what time was yours at?
  6. Hello and a Happy Thanksgiving to you as well! Keep us updated! I meet Alison PAC on Dec 18th. p/s did you have to pay an out of pocket cash cost?
  7. :grouphug: darn being or feeling hungry sucks!!!! yah the fill should definately help! good thing everything healed properly! p/s :thumbup:I got the insurance approval! I am looking at sometime in Jan!
  8. got approved!!! Pre-op dec 18th.
  9. So, what did you mean by Dr Oliaks out of pocket cash cost? I am not aware of this. I have contacted Melanie at Dr Oliaks office to ask her about this. I was under the impression, that my insurance would cover all medicall nessecary cost. Uh oh! Well, talk to you soon!
  10. I am also, waiting for the insurance approval ( it has been two weeks) I am thinking I will have the procedure in Jan. Depending on Oliaks waiting list. What insurance do you have?
  11. Maybe we will! I am actually over the nervous feeling ( for now) I have been wanting to do this for a long time but, my nerves kept me from it. So, my feelings now are more like COME ON LET'S GET THE SHOW ON THE ROAD! You know what I mean? Once you start the process you want it to speed up, so you can start seeing results. I look forward to hearing about your progress in this lengthy process.
  12. All I can say is what has been said before. Only you know if you should, and if you can tolerate it. Although, there are complications there are also pros!
  13. Being insecure Hiding/ignoring old friends Avenue/Lane Bryant ( damn fat clothes is expensive) Rashes Always fixing my pants when I get up Not fitting into chairs at restaurants,amusement parks or even friends cars etc. Everyone staring at me Heartburn Grocery bill No energy.............................
  14. HOWDY! Dr Oliaks office sent the surgery approval on MOnday, so I am pretty darn excited it is getting very close. I hear oliak has a 3 month wait, especially with holidays and stuff. I hope in Jan I am banded! Let me know how things go with you and your process. I would appreciate it!
