I absolutely LOVE my PS!!!

I went in today to talk with my PS regarding the look of my left side versus my right side - lower back. A little history, I had TT w/MR and Lipo in December; since then, the PS has given me additional lipo on my right side due to a dog ear, approximately a month after the lipo he took about 3 inches off the right side to remedy the problem.

Well, 3 weeks later I called him and went in today to show him that my right side still isn't the same as my left. Yes, the dog ear is long gone; however, I seem to be a little fleshy (lack of a better word) on the right side still. I told him I'd pay for him to remedy this for me and he said don't worry, I'm not going to charge you - I see what you're referring to and I'll do some lipo and remove additional skin from the area. The area in question is actually more to my back than side - I have a type A personality and know that for most people this wouldn't be a problem but little things like this can drive me insane.

I'm so happy that he doesn't think I'm crazy person - if he does he hides his thoughts well :D

Anyway, I'm scheduled (6/22) to have what I know will be my last revision.

Yippee!!!

After everything, I think you should have it exactly how you want it! Good that you have a doc who agrees. I am going to go for a consultation at least for TT/lipo but I just dont think my (lousy!) insurance will fork out a dime...well, its worth a try!

I know my lapband surgeon was able to get my TT easily approved as "medically necessary" due to hanging flesh and rashiness. I wish u the best

Thanks for the good wishes...I definitely have hanging flesh and rashiness...but I also have lousy insurance I think! I had to self pay because of my "low BMI" or I could have tried to gain 19 pounds...I self payed!
