I went for back pain twice and the rash twice. A lot of it depends on your insurance companies specific guidelines. There is so much variations from one company to the next. A $10 co pay is a worthwhile investment if it can save you several thousand $$ in the end. Tim

Hey Brandy! Welcome back girlfriend! We've missed ya around here! Oh man, CONGRATULATIONS on the plastics!!! Woo Hoo for you! Like I told Tim, I'm totally jealous, but so, so, so happy for you! Wow, one of our own finally got plastics I'm so proud. (Has anyone else done it yet, I can't remember now...) I can't WAIT to see pics! (I hope you post some. They don't have to be graphic, you can cover up *some* of the stuff! ) Sorry the arms are hurting so much though. Yikes, that made me shudder! I am a huge baby when it comes to pain, so I better stock up on the meds when it's my turn! Anyway, I wanted to congratulate you and wish you well. It was good to hear from you. I checked up on your profile and it looks like all is well, so that's wonderful! Take care hun! Keep us updated w/how you're healing up! Hugs, Lisa

Saw the surgeon who is going to fix my hernia today. After the usual poking and prodding he said it would be a piece of cake. Now it is all up to the plastic surgeon to keep the ball rolling and schedule everything. I'M READY!!!

Hey Tim!! That's great news. I am so glad your going first so you can coach us through it! Keep us informed. I am so excited for you!!

I gotcha, well I am gonna try to do everything my doc will allow. He told me he only wants me under anes. 6 total hours, so he is gonna try to shoot for a belt lipectomy, boobs, and thigh lift. Wish he would do my partial facelift but he says not then. Poo. Keep us posted, we are so excited, you are really gonna be a cutie patootie then. Sue
