Good news/Bad news

Well I had my 1 year follow up today with my surgeon. He was very very happy with everything. Bloodwork all came back normal, bmi good, everything basically good. The Bad news is that I have ANOTHER hernia. The Good news is that I have ANOTHER hernia. This may be my ticket to plastics. We talked about my previous hernia and he said it sometimes happens that you get two. He also dosn't see a reason for me to wait until I'm 2 years out before plastics. So he is going to write a letter for insurance and contact the plastic surgeon about resubmitting. So we'll see what happens. YEAH

Darn you....you lucky *******! Wish one on me please!

oh! i'm so sorry! i do hope it all works out, pretty blue eyes!

What the....Dont feel bad for him! He get a free TT outta the deal! Rock on babe! C

First, congrats on the great checkup. More important than anything else! Now...WOO HOO/ Sorry on the hernia! As long as it doesn't hurt thats a great thing. Insurance companies should pay for ALL bariatric plastics considering how much money we're saving them in the long run. Not surprised on your checkup, you've done AWESOME! Tim

lucky/unlucky dog.... geesh... i emailed my insurance (healthpartners) and because i have such back problems and some rashes- on an email i got that it would be approved if the surgeon writes a letter... and now the NURSE practioner that i see from teh surgeon (i haven't seen the REAL surgeon since the day of surgery) said i have to lose 9 pounds in 3 months and THEN she'll say plastics... but come on- since my visit with her- i've lost and gained the same fricken 2-3 pounds.. IT"S NOT COMING OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UGH... jennfier

Sounds like Good News/ Good News to me! I'm jealous, but congrats on the great checkup.!

Boy, do you have some luck! Hope it all works out! Congrats on the good 1 year report too! HUGS Kimberly
