Hey all! I just wan...

Hey all! I just wanted to give everyone a little bit of hope for plastic surgery.....i have had the go ahead from my bypass sureon to have my plastics, i have been stable at 125 for 3 months and do not want to lose any more weight. anyhoo....i went to 4 consults and the last dr said he was going to submit to insurance and was 95% sure it would be approved....i thought no way man.......but let me tell you three weeks later i have approval, and am having extended tummy tuck on Dec 22nd. OMG!! so if it can happen for me it can happen for all of you when your time comes. my thoughts are with you all through the holidays, this place and all of you have been a great support even when i have been just here reading and not posting! happy holidays and take care jen 235-125 at goal

Thanks for the information. And Congrad on the meeting the goal. You are and inspiration to us all. Happy Holidays. One question, if I may, what kind of insurance do you have? Kathleen G. from Misssouri

Wow way to go ,still have a while to think about plastics 40 more to my goal yeaaaa ,good luck

Congratulations Jennifer, reaching goal and close to tummy tuck time. Let us know how you are doing. How long are you expected to be in the hospital? Nice your insurance came through. Not sure mine will but I have a ways to go yet. Julia

What insurance company do you have? What type of TT are you having? Please keep us posted on how you do. Praying for no pain and a awesome TT!!

I have Tricare Prime for insurance. Thank you all for you well wishes. The TT that he is doing is cutting me all the way around and lifting my butt and pulling down on my back then pulling the tummy tight and tightning my abdomen muscles. the incision is going to be low (where my c-section scar is) all the way around. take care jen

YIKES!! It's going to be quite awhile before I could even consider this next step. And without insurance, I'm going to have to pray very hard for another miracle, like the one that made the bypass possible. But I know anything is possible when you want it bad enough. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! on your insurance approval and I wish you all the best with your surgery and recovery. Happy holidays to you too! Lisa V

Good luck to you Jen You probably don't need much of a tuck...we started about the same weight and are currently about the same weight...I don't plan on having plastics, not much skin left! But, I hope that all goes well for you and show us a picture when you're ready! Amy start weight 233 current weight 120

i wish that i didnt need that much of a tuck, but i do. i have ALOT of hanging skin, he is taking off 8-10lbs of skin. i dont know why i have so much, i exercise 6 days a week, and eat what i am supposed to but the skin just didnt bounce back. i am so glad for you tho that you dont have to have plastics....i wouldnt have it if it wasnt necessary....not looking fwd to the pain take care and yes i will post pics after....thanks for the warm thoughts jen
