Hello all June 26 2002 WL...

Hello all June 26 2002 WLS, My name is michele and I am 18 months post op and have losed 170 lbs I feel great. I am considering having plastic surgery on my upper arms. Any body else thinking of having anything done.

Hi Michele, I have a appointment with the PS on 1/12/04, wish me luck! I am only cover for a panni removal, but luckly that is now my worst feature.... now if i would win the lottery i would have more done, but i dont think that is going to happen....lol.... good luck on your journey! My surgery was 6/12/02 and 165 lbs gone so far.. still working on those last 15 lbs... yikes... that part is very hard!

What is a panni removal? Let me know the results of your consult. Mine is march I am trying to get it moved up.

Hi Sharon Were you able to get you panni. done. If so ,how was it!. May I ask what you insurance is. I have athems They turned me down. patti

I AM HAVING A TUMMY TUCK AT THE END OF THE MONTH!

Hi Machele, My name is Carol and I had my surgery in June 2002 also, I want to have the upper arm surgery and my legs done and I have an App. on March 29th with the ps dr, I am so affraid my insurance will not cover it, I have UPMC through my husband work. Let me know how things go with you. Hey, do you ever have any pain in your Tummy, I started having a dull ache about 2 inches above my belly button, I dont have it all the time just sometimes any thought. Thanks Carol May RNY 6/2003 213 128

I had my consult for my arms I am waiting to see if I wil be covered. Has your surgery been approved?

I AM ALSO CONSIDERING HAVING AN UPPER ARM, TUMMY TUCK, THIGHS AND BOOB LIFT. THE ONLY PROBLEM THAT I MAY FACE IS THAT MY INSURANCE HAS CHANGED SINCE MY OPERATION. SO THE NEW INSURANCE MAY CONSIDER MY SITUATION AS A PRE- EXISTING PROCEDURE. IF YOU HAVE ANY ADVICE FOR ME, PLEASE FORWARD IT TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WARMEST REGARDS, DENNY [email protected]
