Hello, Need some advice i am nearly at goal weight and will need what i hope will be classed as reconstructive surgery!:biggrin: fingers crossed on that one but if any of you have any ideas let me know! I believe Dr Coc kburn at the Wesley is a good surgeon.... My biggest question is through our company we can choose the insurance company... Can anyone suggest the better insurer to go with? Thanks for the help! Cheers Tricia

Lol yes i had a teacher with the same name......you can imagine in a girls school hehehe I have other problems like back pain,rashes ans started getting infectons and mentaly well thats another story! How did you go with legs? that one has me concerned.... but Dr Duncombe said Dr Coc.kburn is very good at what he does! Thanks Tricia

Okay after reading about inner thight not beng very good has anyone seen how the arms look after surgery, mine well hate to tell anyone but here goes 2/3 of my arm hang and i feel i have no choice and have to get them done! Funny how some people think its so easy when you get a band ....

Called Dr Coc kburns office on Wednesday they had a cancellaton for next Wednesday! >>>>>>>omg<<<<<<<< Lol fingers crossed... let the reconstuction begin! So sweet... my eldest child (Mat 24yrs) has offered to pay for the surgery if i need it.. Keep getting emotional as it has taken me years to make this decision....fingers crossed it will be classed as reconstructive surgery! Come on heat rash lol Cheers Tricia
