I've Been Gone A Long Time.

Hi Everyone!!! I haven't chatted with any of u guys in long time. I pray everyone has a good year?? I do reconize some the names but not the faces. I had WLS Jan.26 2006. Have any of u guys looked into PS?? I cant find anyone who wants to even try to go through my insurace BC/BS Fed. Pre-Op 270 size 26 Post-Op 156 size 12 Your WLS friend, Debra

hi there!! I've looked into plastics and a lot have had them already. My insurance won't cover so I'm self pay, but I'm doing it next year. I can't wait, it's all I think about (when I see myself naked or try on clothes! haha) Best of luck to you!! Hugs n stuff, Renee

Hi Debra! I had a panniculectomy that is all my insurance Blue Shield PPO would cover. I paid about $2,500 out of pocket between, co-pays and deductibles. I will need another panniculectomy and a TT, breast lift, thigh lift, or LBL eventuallly but they will all be self pay. I don't have the moola right now but maybe in the future. Good Luck! Norma

Hey Debra! Welcome back! There are several peeps on the board who have had plastics. Unfortunately, I am not one of them. Maybe in the future but certainly not in the short-term future! Congratulations on your success and don't be a stranger! Jersey Mom

Hi Deb, Welcome back.....I have not had plastics. I was denied 3 times....But I will survive! Hugs, Chris

Welcome back Debra. I haven't even started to look into plastics. I know that insurance won't cover the majority of what I would like to do. It may cover a breast reductiion but that's about it. I don't have the loose skin on the tummy that many others do, mine is all "up top". Would really like to get my upper arms done but know I will have to pay for that all by myself and until I get a job won't be able to save the money to do it. Hope to see you around the board. Ronna

Hi Debra, I recently had skin removal. Luckily my surgeon does it along with hernia repair so I just paid extra for that part of the procedure. Get yourself a hernia and come to Chicago.... Pics of my surgery are posted in my profile. ~Tiffany

Thank you all for the inf. & support! Debra

Welcome back Debra & glad to hear about your success. I would love a tummy tuck & breast lift but right now I can't afford it. Let us know if you find anyone good.
