Hi Irene, thanks for the reply! Weird the link didn't work for you, the same pic is at the bottom of my profile though. I wish I had more time to keep up with everyone, how are you doing lately? Deejay

Hi Mike! Thanks for the update. I have a few friends that have had tummy tuck or lower body lift, and they've been battling the swelling thing for months. So if it happens to you, try not to get too discouraged. Is that it for you with plastics, or will you be having something else done? I'd love to see pix! Irene

Hello all Just to keep people informed I had My tummy tuck on May 8. I had some bleeding issues with one of the drains but everrything seems to be fine now the drains are out and I'm slowly getting back to my routine. I do have some swelling the amount depends on my activity level for he day. I'm trying hard not to over do it but sometimes it just happens. Til next time Mike

Hi Everyone!! I hope this finds everyone well! I know I haven't been on much anymore, I'm sorry. I started working full time again after 5 yrs of staying home with my triplets so I've been a busy girl! I love it so much though, I needed a break so badly and to get out of the house! My kids are going to Kindergarden in August and they go to pre-k now so I only am away from them for about 4hrs of the day. I miss everyone here and read the posts but don't have much time for replying. I'm 4lbs below goal (146 now) and set my new goal for 145 but either way, I'm happy. I'm about 4 months post plastics (Breast lift w/implants, Tummy Tuck, Thigh Lift and Lipo) and I'm doing really well, nice and healed and very pleased with my results. I got my belly button pierced too and just love it! Tomorrow is my 7yr wedding anniversary (together for 13yrs though) and we are renewing our vows in Vegas on June 10th, I so can't wait!!!! I bought a tiny little white sheer halter dress and we're doing it at a little outdoor gazebo at night it will be all lit with white lights, just one couple will be with us, very quiet little ceremony but we're having pics and video done so I'll share them with you guys when I get them. Here's my latest pic taken last night, we went out for our anniversary. http://www.geocities.com/aguilartrio/CABPICS/xnew030.jpg Anyway, thanks for reading and everyone still working to get to goal, I have so much faith in you and I know you will get there!! Keep on keepin on!!! Hugs to all! Deejay 262/146 (below goal) 1/19/06 - PS...BL/BA, TT, Thigh Lift, Lipo

Send them a letter in writing asking for the policy in writing. My RE gave me a booklet that has a sample letter in it to send for just that case. It is very good. If you need a copy of it, let me know. His entire booklet was on making sure you get insurance to pay for everything you are entitled to. I have to have surgery in the next few weeks because there is something weird going on with one of my tubes. He wants to see if I have adhesions or anything that are getting in the way. Not looking forward to the process. Good luck with your treatments and hopefully you and your hubby will have a baby in the not so near future.
