Hey what's up ya'll? I had a goal weight of 180lbs but I went to the doctor yesterday and I had lost 20lbs since being there at the begining of January and I've just decided to stop. I'm still going to keep my band and continue to excersize and eat healthy it's just that I've worked extremely hard and nothing would make me happier than to just have plastic surgery and be done with it. My band doctor told me he thought I was at a good size to go ahead & see a plastic surgeon so that's what I'm planning on doing he has me on some vitamins & some other medication because he wants to make sure my esphogus is fine b'cuz i've had alot of vomiting & acid reflux lately in the past few months....he tells me he believes I'm healthy & fine he just wants to make sure, but he was kind of up-set that I chose a doctor that wasn't in his hospital for my plastic surgery. Oh well I'm not even sure if I can get this payed for or not I'm not sure my insurance will pay for it. But I do have an appointment with a Plastic Surgeon that my insurance is going to cover the first visit I know for-sure....just to talk to her and see what she thinks or what she feels like I need and when, where, all the questions. I'm a little nervous and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't just a little bit scared. Because I am scared I don't know what to expect but this is what I've been waiting for....so March 16th is when I find out for sure what's going on with the Plastic Surgery.....

Anybody had any plastic Surgery? Tummy Tucks? Anything to do with removal or skin from weight-loss......Let me know how it went and what to expect...please....any & all support/answers is appreciated......

thanks

Wow. You are my hero. I will be satisfied if I am half as successful as you are. What an amazing story. Hey, you could probably sell your story to a magazine and make enough to pay for your surgery.

You are sooooo stinking BEAUTIFUL!!!! God, I really hope you are able to get this. You really deserve it!

I would definately do the pictures and submit them to insurance with all the complications that come along with having all the extra skin. I had a cousin that had breast surgery and the Ins. picked up the tab. On one side she was a D cup and on the other a B and ...she got a reduction in one and an implant in the other so now she is a C on both sides. He doctor not only submitted pictures but also had her talk to a Psych about the depression it was causing her......she said it was had to have confidence to try and even date because her breasts looked so different from each other and the Ins. paid. So resubmitt and tell them all that you are feeling. I sure hope they cover this for you. You are so beautiful and so deserving of this.
