Fallin' to pieces!!

Isn't that a song? I am certainly going to have an interesting few months coming up. Fighting the insurance company now on the tummy tuck, is no fun, but eventually I think they will see things my way! Went to the gyn's office yesterday and just as I suspected, my boobs are not the only things going south! I have to go in for surgery to tack up my bladder and uterus! Yuck! He says that all the previous weight pushed it down and I will continue to have bladder infections if I don't go have the ligaments shortened. The good news is that if I have it done before my hernia repair, they can do it laparascopically. I will have my scope next week for my stomach, which is a good thing, because this weekend my stomach started hurting again really badly when I eat. I think I have an ulcer. However, I have started losing again and hopefully will eventually reach Onederland! I am now at 204.5 as of this AM! Yeah! Hope it continues and I get there soon! I miss you all, it is so quiet on our board now, I wonder what everyone is doing that hasn't posted in awhile. Wendy

Hey Wendy, Sorry to hear about your tummy problems. They can't do the tuck when they do the hernia repair? They did mine together and that way it was all paid for by insurance. Hope it all works out for you. Good luck on all the surgeries. You will get to Onederland just have to have faith. The board has been quiet. I read but don't post much anymore. I use to sit around the house and do nothing but computer now I am out and about. I still lose and gain but I stay in the 140 to 150 range all the time. Well I did drop below at one point but just upped my calories and my wieght came back up. That showed me that I could gain if I get out of control. So I watch it really well. I will pray all goes well for you. You are a doll. You have done so well and your can really see the difference in your face. You are very pretty. Keep up the hard work and you will succeed. Hugs Deloris

My insurance won't cover the tt even with the repair if the suspect it is just "cosmetic". But I have written them a lovely letter chronicling my back trouble hygiene problems etc. and tomorrow I go to my family doc to get her to write a letter for me. I figure everyone just has a life now, LOL! I do miss everyone though. It was nice to see so many respond to my post. Wendy

Hi Wendy~ I hope you will give your insurance company a run for their money! I'm sorry to hear that you are struggling with your tummy. It's possible that you have an ulcer- it seems like it's a pretty common problem. My prayers will be with you. I know that you'll hit Onederland any day now. Hugs, Kerri

Thank you Kerri as always! You are my angel! Wendy

Wendy I am sorry to hear that you are having stomach trouble. Hopefully it will be a quick fix for you. The only thing I have seen a plastic surgeon for was my breast lift and reduction. My insurance didnt approve it. I figured they wouldnt and so did the surgeon. I dont have enough to take off to satisfy them. I guess they want us all to look like boys instead of girls..lol..Good luck with your insurance. They seem to approve TT more than other surgeries. I think once winter arrives more people will start to post more often. We seem to have more time on our hands once we are couped up in the house. Take care, Carla

They denied everything I put in for. The only thing I expected them to help with was the tt. I really do need the tt. The other stuff is just cosmetic mostly, but the tummy causes me back pain and humiliation! All those years of obesity really took a toll on my body, but if I can just get over this first year with all the repairs I should be ok! I just need an overhaul LOL! Wendy

Hi Wendy! Yes, the board has been so quiet lately. I wonder what happened to all of our fellow Junebugs? Where are they and what happened?? I'm sorry to hear about your ulcer and bladder/uterus problems. The insurance company and approvals are a pain in the butt. I haven't heard yet whether or not the insurance company will cover any part of my plastic surgeries. Oh, well! I hope that you keep up the faith! It will all work out in the end for you. I'm starting to plan and organize what needs to be done before my plastic surgery day. There's so much to do and so little time! Plus, working every Sunday and holiday until then is getting to me. At least I can say is that I got my eating under control for now. I have to be my best both physically and emotionally for this surgery! Take care my friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you! Hugs, Lucy

Hi Wendy! Sorry to hear of your south of the border problems. I suspect I may end up with some of the same difficulty's! Sorry also about the return of your stomach problems! You are in my thoughts! I remain struggling with portion control mainly now. I am not gaining but not loosing either. I still have so much I want to lose. I have just finally joined a gym with a very controlling girlfriend! I need that sometimes!! Left to my own choices, I do not always make the wisest choice for myself. Why is that? I am trying to retrain myself to treat myself the very best but somedays are harder than others. Still....I am so very happy I had this life changing surgery. I too have a huge hernia but am needing to get to onderland prior to repair. 30# to go!! Take care Wendy! Diane

Thanks Diane! I don't do so well sometimes with the excersize and eating either. I was hoping this surgery would change my personality too LOL! But alas I am still lazy and like to eat! I really have to work everyday at it too. Wendy
