Topic: RE: A star is born?
How cool is that! I can't wait to see the pictures. I think that this DOES make you a model? You're on your way to being famous.
Keep us updated.
Topic: A star is born?
OK, here's the story.
A few months ago I submitted some before/after pictures and a testimonial for the showcase in the hospital where I had my WLS. They put up them up in the display and it's very nice.
A few weeks ago they asked me if I might like to do a direct mail advertising campaign for them. I said yes and last Thursday I did a photo shoot in the basement of the hospital. (does this make me a male model?) The photos are going to be in a flyer and they promised to send me lots of copies to give to my friends.
At the time of the shoot they asked me if I might be interested in doing a video interview for their website and that they also might want to use my pictures on a billboard.
How cool is that!
If they do I'll have to make sure I get a picture of it for my profile.
Of course the guys at work are ribbing me mercilessly, but thats OK. It's when they don't mess with you that you know they don't like you.
One of the most significant things about this is that pre-op I would have NEVER considered anything like this. I pretty much was the kind of person who just wanted to hide in the background. Now I'm downright eager to show off my "before" photos, and I'll do anything I can to promote this life changing/saving surgery.
Guess I'm just an attention ***** now, but I like it.

Dave-
Hang in there-- Glad to hear the tumors are shrinking.
On the walk I spoke with a cancer survivor-- she had Stage 4 breast cancer and is still here 2 years later-- and walking 13 miles.
You can DO this!
Love Peter & Andrea

Topic: RE: errrgggg!
Hmm....I'll have to remember that.....it would be great to get the boobs paid for....from the pricing I looked at for the doctor in Mexico, I can get inner thighs, arms, and lift with augmentation for around $12,000.....
Topic: RE: errrgggg!
I had to go to my doc and get a mental evaluation. I told the them my breasts were effecting my self esteem and my marriage. Then i got approved for just the lift. If i want implants i have to pay for them and the lift can be done at the same time. I will be billed for anything extra .
Topic: RE: errrgggg!
So, how did you get them to approve the breast lift? Will they do an augmentation with it?
One of the girls that works for my WL surgeon went to Mexico for her thighs. I'm going for a check-up in early Nov so I'll try to check them out.....
Hope the healing's coming along....
